How fortunate I was to have crossed paths with Larry and Pat once they became my neighbor. I miss our talks over the fence, chats about how growing grass seemed to be harder than growing tomatoes, peppers… Larry, keep watch over Pat from there and I’ll do my best from here. Much love, Kim and Keith
