Gwen and Vern were great neighbors. There place was always our kids second home. How Jodie loved to comb Vern's hair when she was a little girl. Many times for lunch Kevin would go down with his buttered piece of bread looking for something better for his sandwich than what had been left for him. Our sympathy Gwen and family and we will see you in a couple of weeks. - Posted by: Hay (Friend) on: Mar 23, 2013
