Rosalie, I'm sorry to hear about your mother. Please also send my thoughts to Ralphie. I would have come by to see you, but I found out today, 7/9. I do remember your mother. I remember the cold cuts she loved from the store on Eastern Ave. I remember how my father would say her first name. It's a warm, nice memory. I hope you're ok.
