I just read the sad news that grandma has passed away in July. I hope she is reunited with dad, Marc, and grandpa. I will always remember your visits to our home in NY and my fun trips to Tucson. I have always missed you.

Harry, condolences on the loss of mom. Many many fond memories of Junior and high school years and going over to the house on Camino Seco to see one of my best friends Marc. She always had a smile and was filled with love
