Barry and Michelle, I went to school with both of your parents.I double dated with them to McCaskeys prom! They were a fun couple. It’s wonderful that they married and had so many good years together. I don’t live in Lancaster anymore, I chanced upon your dad’s obituary. Since then so many nice memories are coming to mind once again. I am indeed saddened by your mom and dad’s passing.
