Boys... Please accept my heartfelt sympathy on the loss of your mother. Babe and Steve were very dear friends. We all emigrated from Auburn about the same time. I knew them when they were teen-agers. I was shocked when Gerry called me the other day with the sad news. They are in my prayers.

My parents, Mary Jo and Joe Godfrey, lived down the block on East Bexhill. So many times they mentioned Dr. and Mrs. Oristian, how nice they were, what a fine physician Dr. Oristian was [and my Dad, an orthopedist for 50 years, knew a lot about good doctors!], how much they valued and appreciated their friendship.
Though my family and the Statlands are friends, we still refer to 3500 Saul as the Oristians' house as we go around the corner.
I'm so sorry to learn of your mother's / grandmother's death. Please know the Godfreys have her and all of you in our prayers.

My thoughts go out to all of you at this most difficult time. Your mom was a great lady.I will never forget the great times and dinners at Babe's and Steve's. They made everyone feel so special. I'm sorry I can't be with you as my uncle has also passed and I must be at his funeral. My prayers and thoughts are with you. God Bless.
