is the woman who lived here when the house was built in the late 1800's. We bought it from the estate of her daughter who grew up here and lived here until she died. She left no heirs.

We're the first family to live here that is not a descendant of Hiram Cook, who owned what is now Verona Park.
Ever since we moved in, there have been strange goings on - we're all convinced that it's Floretta's mischievous spirit. I don't believe in ghosts, but things have happened for which there's no plausible explanation. Thank goodness there's no scary music.

I agree that PSE&G is very responsive, and it's good to see that they're being proactive!
