Sally, I Googled “Oswego” to see how bad the snow was and saw the obituary for your husband. I am so sorry for your loss. It looks like you have a big family with a lot of support. I haven’t been up north since my parents moved to Florida so don’t keep in touch with anyone except a Christmas card to Carol and Roy each year. Seeing your name brought back a lot of memories. Again, I want to extend my condolences to you and all of your family.
