To the Pinch Family:
I hope you remember me. We lived next door to you in the early 70's. I was married to James Bollengier then. I just wanted to share with you the great times I had with your Mom and Dad and all you kids. I don't know if Steve remembers but we use to play wiffle ball in the back yard all the time. Your Mom helped me so much when I had my second son, Jeff. Kathy use to babysit for us and your Mom would come over and help her out when Jeff would fuss. Please know that I still remember so many good times with your family. Even that awful cellar that we shared. Your mother and father always made me laugh, especially when we would both complain to Joe Farraro about the condition of the cellar and house. Your family will always be special to me and I know both your Mom and Dad will always be remembered with love.
