No words can convey the sadness and void in so many hearts. Sending my love, sympathy, empathy, and prayers to Butch, Jen, Gina, Matt, Vinny and the family . So hard to say goodbye to dear friend and neighbor, a part of our neighborhood extended family, my flower and planting buddy, also known as Mrs. P, the popsicle lady to my granddaughters. May you Rest In Peace in God’s loving arms. With love my friend ?? Sue Rousseau
