Robin,
It's been a very long time since we've had any contact but I wanted to offer my condolences on the passing of your mom. Although it has been quite a while I still have vivid memories of your mother from when we were little on Mohan St. Things have certainly changed a lot in the neighborhood but my dad still keeps me up to date on what's going on. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
