Mary Sullivan,
It just seems like last week that I saw you sitting on your couch as my car passed your bay window. I still see the big "S" on your storm door and it brings a smile to my face. A lot of memories were made in that yard of yours and in our little "Mayberry Like" neighborhood. No matter how much time passes by I will always go by your house and say, "there's the Sullivan's house." I'm gonna miss you, the neighborhood's gonna miss you but you've got bigger fish to fry, besides you'll be with the whole from the hood. Much love, thoughts and prayers sent to your family during this difficult time Love You Guys.
