Lol, beat me to it. I was going to say ‘Lurch.’ They certainly seem to have a macabre sense of humor in that town.
>> no need to hate on the child.

Rim shot!..................

Probably her dad.................

Cute girl with a sense of humor. I like that.
Which four?
Curious about my future home

Exactamundo!

Yeah...they had to go there. She’s good looking but not drop-dead-gorgeous. But what other bad pun are they going to use for this story?
Yes my 4th grade classmate was Regina Law. Her dad owned the Wm. Law Funeral Home On Jerusalem Ave, Massapequa, NY. back in the 60’s and its still there today.
I was thinking, that was her father. :)
Pic of snaggle tooth girl is considered ‘Drop dead gorgeous’ in NJ???....Hey, Hey, hey! It’s Joisy.
My oldest daughter first job was at a funeral home at 16...
Everyday I would ask her the same question when she got home...
“Did you meet any stiffs today” ?
It never got old... LOL
I’m surprised she didn’t dress a bit more “goth” ... kinda cute in a weird way.
