Barry and Shelley: We're so sorry to hear of Mazelle passing away. It's been a long time but Roland (Dan), Glenda, and I (J.E./Jake Jr.) remember the great times we had playing together growing up. Our mom (Sadie) passed away at the age of 87; still, when mom's pass, it ends an era. We're all thinking of you and have always been proud of you both. Take care. Jake Jr., Glenda, and Roland
