Joe, Larry, Steve: I'll not feel sadness about Aunt Anna. I am celebrating her life by going out my front door, finding someone who needs help, and in her name, giving it. I will tell them about her. That way, memory of her will live on, even among strangers, perhaps forever.

Steve, Larry and Joey,
I am so sorry to hear about your Mom. How blessed you are to have had her in your life for so long. My childhood memories of your Mother. Her dark hair. She smiled a lot. She spoke softly. Not easily done with 4 boys in the house. I loved visiting you guys when you lived in Springfield. Your home was always so warm and inviting. Bob and I (sometimes Larry-when he was not running with Steve and Tom) had such a good time when we were together. My thoughts and prayers are with you!
