[Md-sligo] Sad news

[Janice Toothman]

I will attend the Viewing from 2-4PM at the Beall Funeral Home.  I knew 
Andy from BELL, although I know that recently he had not attended as 
consistently due to his mother's health.

However, I do not think I am able to attend the funeral, since Crofton 
is in Anne Arundel County and Metroaccess doesn't go there so I would 
have to sign up for Uber or Lyft.
