I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your father. My mother Delores and Jean were best buddies and roommates at Howard. My mother often spoke very fondly of your Dad. When my mother passed, Clayton said that now she and Jean were up in heaven together again. May God bless you and your family during this time of grief. Lynn and Chico Bryson
