Cindy and Jim, I worked with your Mom and Dad at Fisher’s Big Wheel years ago and my Mother-in-law Doris was friends with your family during the N. 20th St days. We are so sorry for your loss. Doris doesn’t talk about N. 20th St. without remembering the fun those 2 had. She will be missed. God Bless You with peace and comfort.
