    My sympathies go out to the Gibney Boys. In 1952 you moved with your parents from your grandparents' home across the street and rented half of our home at 1819 Third Ave. I was only 6 but I remember your mom's sweet smile and kind disposition. I am so sorry for your loss. Olivia Anslinger Carniglia
