Was so sad to hear about your Mom passing, Steven. I never was able to meet her but I think we would have had lots of fun playing pinochle together.

I just learned of Nina's passing & am so saddened that she is gone. I met Nina through the Foot Clinic, where she quickly became a dear friend. She was a JOY to be around & her sense of humor brought much laughter to the lives of all the Foot Clinic volunteers & participants. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
