URBANNA — Just as life was settling down in Middlesex County and the days were humming along pretty well, Mother and Father moved from their home in Ohio to this area.

They moved into sister Georgia’s summer home on the river in Kilmer’s Point and were cozy enough except for the fact they were each suffering the usual health issues of octogenarians approaching age 90. I am beginning to suffer the same problems, so I am sympathetic to what they went through as it is never easy to uproot from your home and move somewhere else.
