Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. I have so many fond memories from my childhood when my grandparents were neighbors. Not just neighbors but family in my eyes. Grandma Louise and Grandpa Carl finally have their favorite neighbor with them in heaven. Much love to you all.
I had the honor of being Chettys neighbor for several years. Sweetest kindest soul. So glad to have known her. Much love and prayers to Ray, Laurie, and Nora.
