When I first bought my house, Glenn and Louise lived across the street. I always used to see them, sitting on the front porch or riding their bicycle in the drive. They were very good neighbors and I have missed them since they moved several years ago. I am very saddened to read of Louise’s passing. She was a wonderful lady!
