I think it is funny that so many people run on us allentowners and say we come out with shotguns and bury people in our own backyards and were insest when in reality all the people up here would give the shirt off their back for anyone including strangers, they would welcome you in their homes and offer you food... people run their mouths w/o knowing the truth and thats the problem with the world today..

This was very respectfully done. It was so nice to see my mom's family. Great Grandma Ella and Great Grandpa Harm passed on when I was an infant, but I had been told so many heart warming stories. It was wonderful to be able to put faces with names. Thank you for sharing this...
