Nancy and Family,
I am not sure that my first entry got posted. Just wanted to let you know what a pleasure it was to know Mohan. He was a friend to anyone who knew him. He never had an unkind word to say about anything or anybody. It seemed he always had a "peacefullness" about him. He will truly be missed!
