Not sure what to say?





Gene, I am so sorry I couldn't make it to Nicoletti's to see you in person. We were out of town but I sure have been thinking of you. So sorry for your loss. I hope good memories flood you in the days to come.

To the family of Myrna...my heart was saddened to learn of her passing. I know we can't have our family forever, but it was sad, nevertheless. Myrna worked for my father and even baby-sat me at the same time in the early years of our family business. (I think my early bassinet was a file drawer). Myrna gave me a red wallet when I graduated from high school in 1961 and I sometimes think she thought of me in a different way after losing her daughter. What a dear sweet woman she was.
