Richie,
Doesn't seem so long ago. We were 'kids on the block', and, almost daily, in and out of each others houses. We were a part of each others families lives....so fondly remember your mom, always so welcoming and kind. I am sorry for your loss and extend my most sincere condolences.
Love to Ruth.
