Dear Russ,
All my love and blessings on the pssing of your mom. She always reminds me of my Aunt Helen as she loves "Nonnis," also, and because of their good humor when noone else seemed to have any at all!! She of course drove me crazier then I usually am!! But we had so much fun....at New Years I made her play the piano to everyone's surprise...she could not see but she could play!! And her mischievous laugh....was she being naughty or nice?? Living at VSS one sees alot of changes, but I for one am so glad she is a part of my fondest memories.
God bless,
Delores Salvinski #38
