I am sad to hear about my wonderful babysitter on Fairlawn Ave. Mrs. Kurlek was the best person to watch the Flintstones with until my mother came home at lunch. I still make poppy cock each Christmas as was her tradition to share with my neighbours. Thinking about you Nancy!!! Take care! XO Kristy
