Growing up on Edgar Ave was a unique and wonderful experience, we made so many good friends who my parents, Nick and Nora kept in touch with throughout the years. Even when we all moved to various places, the parents kept in touch. While it has been a long time, we look back to the past at Edgar Ave, for a glimpse of great times with the Garay family who lived on the corner, with the grape arbor by the back door. At times we were like an extended family, and there were many great memories of that time so long ago. My family and I express our condolences to those who were like our brothers and sisters so long ago. May the Lord grant you peace in this time of sorrow, and may the Lord receive John in his Kingdom.
