You won't remember me. My children and I lived in your apartment building in the late 60's while my husband was in Vietnam. Luke and Marva were so kind to us. Marva, I just learned of Luke's passing. I am so very sorry. My last name at the time was Lusen. I am now Joan Rea. My children are Lynn and Wendy. May Luke's memory be a blessing.
