Mom...you will remain in our hearts forever.

And for those of you interested in making Toby's Famous Brownies here's the recipe:

4 squares unsweetened bakers chocolate
1/2 lb. butter (2 sticks)
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 cup flour
2 t vanilla
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

•Melt chocolate and butter
•Beat eggs then add sugar. Beat until well-blended.
•Add flour and blend.
•Add chocolate and butter. Mix well.
•Add nuts and vanilla.

Pour into long baking pan that has been greased with butter. My pan is about 9 X 13. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes - test with toothpick before you take them out.

Enjoy!

We had a memorial service for Mom yesterday at home on Long Island. One of Mom & Dad's friends said it best when he described Mom as having the gift of "effortless kindness".

I will miss her everyday forever.
