  1. From and old friend and neighbor, so sorry to hear of your loss.My prayers and thoughts are with each of you at this time.I lost my mother 2yrs ago,so I know what you are going through. Mr Aldsworth was always so kind to me. I remember he would carry mail on Oakwood st and Gary was overseas, he always tried to hand deliver them to me and always had something nice to say. I have very fond memories of all of you on Oakwood St. We grew up in a good neighborhood. Good friends and neighbors are never forgotten.
