It breaks my heart to think that Mrs. Larson will not be cutting grass, washing windows, carrying groceries or checking on the latest gossip. She had a full and wonderful life. I have very fond memories that I will hold in my heart forever. Miss you!

I am sorry for your loss, she was a great lady. I always remember her sweeping the sidewalk and street in front of her house. I've been away from the block for many years, but, always remember the many neighbors and families that grew up there in the 60's, 70's.
