"Hello Craig and Allen, I lived up the big hill from you on 2nd West and took care of you 3 boys for the summer one year. I ran into your MOM ( I swear recently) but probably 2 years ago and said your brother died, Alan was the oldest and Craig u were the youngest right? Your MOM said how proud of you 2 she was. I forgot what caused your brothers death so early in his life. I am so sorry to hear that your mom passed away so young. My mother is now 93 and still living in the house on 2nd West. You lived on 3rd West when you boys were fairly young, then moved to Magnolia right? Is your father alive? If so please give him my condolences. Sincerely Dorie"
