| Remembrances
Joe and Ione's house on Alderson was one of the farthest places Mihail and Moira Kennedy were allowed to venture in their first years in the neighborhood. They both greeted them with hugs, smiles, and an occasional treat. Thanks for being such great neighbors to a young family.... ..the Kennedys, Mark, Shauna, Mihail, Moria, and Shea.... <><><><> I'll always remember Ione when she came to Glentana. She liked to go to Bingo with us. A very nice lady! Our sympathy to the family. Clif and Helen Heck <><><><> |
