Grace, so sorry to hear of Issy passing, I will always remember the fun we had as kids skating down Plymouth Rd on Hell Night for the TVA, and hearing Issy laughing as we did it.. I still get together with some of the "girl", and they also expressed their sorrows..Our prayers go out to you and your family.
