My husband and I lived next door to Moe and Shirley from 2016-2019. I´m so very sad to read of their passing, and we send our deepest condolences to their loved ones. They were family in a city where we had no blood relatives, and they always made a point to check in on me when my husband was deployed and would even invite me over for wine and cheese nights. We loved their hearts and generosity. They will forever be fondly remembered by our family.
