Even though I had not seen your mother and father for many, many years I remember them so well. Your mother was such an elegant, kind and wonderful woman. I will always remember your father's ever-friendly manner, his warm greetings in that rich-baritone voice and how proud your mother and father were of you, their family. I am honored to have known them both.
