    Fond memories of my childhood growing up across from the Drennan’s, over nighters on the front porch; drives to the beach, collecting eggs at auntie Maude’s and eating watermelon in the back yard. I treasure these memories for ever and a day.
    Mels and self send our condolences to the family, love ‘Ruthie’

    I have wonderful childhood memories with “Mrs. Drennan”
    and most of them involved road trips with her behind the wheel. Her zest for life and naturally inquisitive nature led us down some interesting paths. With deepest sympathy and thinking of you at this difficult time.
