Memories - my family lived across the street on Melbourne when the kids were growing up. Was Roberta Hill. I remember Mrs. Finlan (Diane) better, of course, but when Joe was around, it was always good times for the kids. Didn't know Pat had passed. Probably closest to Sharon, but it seemed we always had little brothers along to babysit. - Posted by: Roberta Beach (neighbour) on: May 15, 2014
