Dear Theresa
Im so sorry to read about your moms passing. She was such a sweet lady and a wonderful neighbor. You and Marty are too young to remember, but some of us from the neighborhood campaigned for your dad when he ran for office. Your parents were both so nice to us. It brings back fond memories of 7th Ave
