@Zoonie Thanks for the advice. She has since moved to another state and I worry about opening a fresh wound, but I was really sad to hear the news. They were great neighbors.

@brittanieshey ages after my Dad died, we got an email forwarded to us from someone who had gone to college with him, with reminiscences and condolences. Man, I think about my Dad every day and he died 10 years ago. Any mention of him m from someone else reminds me of the precious time he was occupying space being alive. I promise, she'll appreciate it. Your sensitivity is very thoughtful (that sounded a lot odder than the meaning behind the sentiment!)
