Wonderful memories

I feel so fortunate to have grown up with all of these "grand" matrons of Garden City. Phyllis and I had such fun together. I always admired her strength and tenacity.

so sorry

To the Beach family... I'm so sorry for your loss. Your mom was such a sweet lady in whom I got to know while working at GVRV. May she rest in peace and may you have the comfort of the Lord during this difficult time.
