Vera was my wife's grandmother and lived next door to us for 12 years. I remember her sister came to visit and made perogies then invited me over to have some. They were great and agreed to help them with some painting they were doing at the time. So I was asked over for perogies a few more times until the rooms were painted. I miss Vera and the games of bridge and talks we used to have. Rev 21:3-4 Ray Parsons - Posted by: Ray Parsons (Friend/Neighbor) on: Feb 02, 2018
