I just learned of your mom's passing. She was a wonderful woman. Our parents maintained a strong friendship ever since we lived by you on Leroy St. Even after my dad died, your mom and dad would regularly have breakfast at Denny's with my mom. Your mom and my mom would talk to each other until neither was able to use the phone anymore. When my mom was in hospice before she died last May, she spoke of your mom and your dad and the good memories that she had. I too have great memories of all of you. I know how much you will miss her but take comfort that they are all together again in heaven. They are probably at a heavenly Denny's. I will keep you all in my prayers.
