Bruce, Terry, and Cheryl, so very sorry to hear of Christine's passing. I know I wore a path thru their yard as a child, playing in the neighborhood and going up "the back alley". Jay would always say "Hey Thelma Where are you going?" and she would always laugh at our bantering back and forth. Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
