My sincere condolences to the Hurst and Madison Families. I had the opportunity to meet Debra & Denise in or about 1967. I would spend some summers in their home in New York . I enjoyed those days meeting her family. May God bless and keep her family during this difficult time. Sherry Hall Wall & Family
