Mrs. Mattoon, Vivian, Matt and Tommy and all the families.

We have lived across the street from the Mattoons for over 20 something years and I felt like a real part of your family. I used to go and sit and visit with Mr and Mrs Mattoon sometimes for hours and just chat away. We had many good talks. They are really fine people and I have missed them so much since they moved to Somersby. I did keep up by phone and an occasional visit, however, time and distance did take its toll. Mr. Mattoon and I talked about his growing up in New Hampshire, as that is where my father was from also.So many good times and lots of good memories and many Christmas ornaments from all their vacations to hang from my tree.

My prayers to you all.

Much Love,

Sandy and Bud Lowell
