My condolences to the Hamer and Meyerkorth families. I have not seen any of them in a lifetime, but I recall our early childhood years when we all knew everyone in the Northern Heights and Breen Acres communities. Life was simple and guided by respect and kindness. We grew up as friends. Our parents taught us that.
God Bless.
The Dugan Family
