Jason and I miss Newt so much. She was the best neighbor and friend to us. Jason's brother, Darren will be saddened to learn of Newt's passing as well. I will always remember her "hanging out" with him when he visited us in his big fancy tour bus!

What a great neighbor for over 40 years, and a great friend. My family and I will miss you greatly - your friendship, your backyard and flowers, your bicycle episodes, the US flag on Holidays and our neighborly talks.
