Thanks to all of you who came to take a piece of that beauty home. I loved our family cookouts by the pond. When you couldn't find me in the garden I was puttering in the shop. My Husband, Chuck, loves me very much and I will miss him. I am so proud of my daughter Carrie, of Felton, who will soon be a compassionate and talented nurse. She has also raised two of my grandsons, Chuckie, an aspiring football and baseball player, and Louie, a future dolphin trainer and pilot, to be wonderful people. I am equally proud of my daughter, Linda, of Toms River N.J., who has raised my favorite granddaughter, Hilary, to be a beautiful person inside and out. She and her husband, Denis, are grooming my youngest grandson, Robert, to be a world-class baseball player."
