A sympathy card was purchased for the family of Susan A. Nowak.
So sorry to hear about Susan. I grew up living upstairs from the family on Harbor Street in Salem back in the 50’s. Our mothers were friends and I remember many good times and laughs. I remember when the family moved to N. Pine Street. I spent many good times at N.Pine over the years and through most of high school. We all drifted apart after that. My sincere condolences to the family.
