    I am so very sorry for the loss of both your parents this year. First your dad, and now your mom. In addition to being caring with family, they were wonderful neighbors. They looked out for my mom, and called if something didn't appear right. My son lives next door now and they always called if the dog got out or if something was going on in the neighborhood. They took time to look out for others when they didn't need to. My deepest, heartfelt sympathy to your family. Debbie Eisel
