Mrs. Shepard gave me so many happy moments in my life as I was growing up. She has left me with many warm memories. I will never forget her. May her soul now rest in peace.
I grew up in Danvers and lived 2 houses from Mrs. Shepard. My sisters and I have such fond memories of Mr. and Mrs Shepard. Both were so kind to us. Giving us snacks when we would stop by and visit…showing us about flowers/gardens/planting. Whether it was months/years gone by, I could stop by and say hello and she would remember my family. She will be missed ,but her caring, kind ways will be remembered forever.
