Remembering your Mother today. Sweet years ago...never got to know her well, but knew her well enough to love her spirit, her heart and the love she had for her family and life.
Bless you Mrs. Sliva

Dear Ray... Your parents' legacy is embodied in you. I have not known a more sweet, kind, gracious, sensitive and caring person than you. Your devotion and concern for Your Mom -- particularly in her later and most difficult years -- will remain a wonderful tribute to her and her goodness. I only met her once. It was quite a while ago in FL. I could tell then how proud she was of you, and rightfully so. Such a cheerful person. And a Golfer! By the time of her passing she must have been even more proud of your growth, your compassion, and your love. I hope this will be a comfort to you through this tough time, and even more importantly, for all the GOOD and great memories of her in all the years to come. My very best wishes to you, JoAnn and your family. Thank you for notifying me in time. Your Friend, Alan Eisenberg
