David and Paul,
I'm not sure if you will recall who I am, I was Micheal Grigorakos's girlfriend (Teri) many years ago. I happened upon the news of your Mom's passing and recognized your name. I wanted to stop and acknowledge your loss. God Bless you all.

Paul, David and Barbara, I am so sorry I didn't not get word of your Mother's passing in time to be present at her wake. Although the circumstance would have been less than desirable, it would have been nice to see you all. May she rest in peace.
