I knew your Dad for many years - as a pharmacist and I even sold them cable tv when they were in their home back in the 70's. Your Dad showed me the garden he planted in your mom's memory behind their apartment. Your Mom made me the best Passover sponge cake I've ever had and delivered it to my office at Jewish Family Service where I've worked for 22 years! I hope you all have wonderful memories to share with your children.
