With sadness we read this morning that our former neighbor, Muert, had passed away. We smiled when we came to the part about cutting the grass because it seemed every time we drove by she was out on the John Deere, mowing the grass, with a little scarf on her always perfectly coiffed hair. We will never forget the neighborhood picnics, Adam and Donald growing up together, and our wonderful neighbor, Muert. Our condolences go out to Don, her children, and all of her family.
