Hello to my longtime friend, from Gail Gottel in Pennsylvania. It's been many years (12) since we last talked, and I thought of you often. I am saddened by the news, but glad you are at peace. Many memories of our friendship. Sorry we lost communication over the years. See you again my friend. Nancy, I never got to meet you, but Harry was a gem and a gentleman always. Dina, I know this has to be tough for you, but God will protect your heart.
