Monica...I am sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. I have fond memories of trips to New Jersey when we were all kids. (Imagine: my father sometimes drove the roundtrip in a day!) I also remember your Mom's laugh.

My Dad just got out of the hospital, so we'll be heading to Natick tomorrow morning.

All our thoughts will be with you and Keith and your families.

Here's hoping we can get together soon.

Hank
