Roger and Jean were wonderful neighbors. We shared many a fine afternoon over a bottle of wine.
They were fond of our black lab Boo. Every morning Boo would disappear for a while. One day when I was calling for him I saw Roger open the back door and out popped Boo. Roger and Jean were sharing their breakfast with him in the morning! Boo reminded them of a German Shepherd that you once had for a family pet.
The world would be a nicer place if everyone were as neighborly as Roger and Jean.
My sincere condolences for your loss.

Roger and Jean were wonderful neighbors and have been greatly missed. We shared many lovely afternoons over a bottle of wine. They were very fond of our black lab Boo. Boo would disappear for about 20 minutes in the morning. One day I was calling for Boo and saw Roger open his back door and Boo ran out. Roger and Jean were sharing their breakfast with Boo! He reminded them of a German Shepherd that was your family dog at one time.
The world would be a better place if all people were so neigborly.
My sincere condolences for your loss.
