John, I remember sharing a room with your mother when I modeled for you in a NY show. She was a lovely woman & I'm sure she will be greatly missed. May your fond memories help you through these difficult times.

I am saddened by the passing of your dear mother. She was just about perfect, and I admired her so much. May she be at rest with her loving husband. They were exceptional people. God bless all.
