      It’s been a joy to have Mike and Marilyn for neighbors the past 9 years. From the friendly hellos while sitting on the deck to the across the fence conversations, he will be missed. I’ll always remember our first fence encounter when he saw me tirelessly mowing my lawn with a push mower and sweetly said, “Honey, you need a rider.”
