First and foremost, many many hugs to all. I just asked how Manny was doing a week or so ago. Will always remember Manny and Margo as the best neighbors on Farmington Road. Remember when our son Christopher was born, they put a big welcome home sign with balloons in the front yard. Many more memories! Rest peacefully Ronnie, Margo I am sure was waiting for you by the pool in heaven. Hugs Cathy! Love to all!   Lloyd & Betty Adam
