Although it has been at least 45 years since I last saw "Manya", it seems like yesterday. She has been in my thoughts many times throughout the years. (Bette, so have you.) I remember Mary, Ron and the "babies" when Floral Ave. was home. She was special. My prayers and thoughts are with all of you...Bette, Kathy (Cookie), Ron and girls.
