I was sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. She was always very kind to me and treated me as one of the family when I played at your house when we were growing up. (A picture of Joe and me from around 1983 is attached. Stumbled across it recently. Reminded me of visiting your house and all the good times we had — sled riding down the big hill, your father’s woodworking workshop, etc. So many good memories.)
Kathleen; I was saddened to learn of your Mother’s passing. Our deepest sympathies to you and your family. Gary Lewis and Family
