We are sorry for your loss. We live in townhouse next to the school. Midge came up and introduced herself shortly after we moved in. We chatted for quite awhile. She would always wave when we drove by. I only had the chance to talk to her one other time when I was walking my dog and she was sitting in her garage. I stopped by and talked awhile. She seemed like a remarkable woman.
