JoAnna, AJ, and Mary Camille:
I did not realize or I would have come! Please accept my sincere sympathy in the loss of your mom.
I have great great memories of Marshall Ave… some of which are Nancy at the washing machine with a roller hooked up to the kitchen sink.. knocking on your side door and asking to borrow a game… being brought into “the back room” by Nancy where there were stacks and stacks of games… neon rubber jump ropes! The tree in front of your house, perfectly centrally located for hide-and-seek, 1-2-3 REDLIGHT or ‘FREEZE!”. I remember Angel playing on that tree, the roots and grooves formed into the sidewalk to make the perfect GI Joe battle field… Nancy making her list for Muzzy that always included “Gubba-gall” : )
Happier days now gone by, but a part of us and who we are.
Love to you all,
Marianne Racalto
