ReplyDeleteWe were lucky to have them all in our midst.
ReplyDeleteR.I.P. to all these fine people. They all made a difference and will be missed.
ReplyDeleteA lovely group of wonderful neighbors. RIP to all.
ReplyDeleteThere was a fully lit Christmas tree inside Mr. Edwards's plant shop last week. It was beautiful, but it made me so sad. His store is one of the prettiest in the whole EV, but soon it will be gone, I fear.
A lovely group of people, indeed. The city is less of a place without them.
ReplyDeleteLost too many amazing people this year.
ReplyDeleteThanks for remembering our departed friends and neighbors here.
ReplyDeleteWhat you do for the Lower East Side is a true public service....
Thank you, Chris.
