Gina and Freddie, I am so very sorry for your loss, which is also a loss for those of us who knew and loved your father. My late husband and I considered both your Mom and Dad among our closest friends. I wish I had known in time to attend the services, but found out too late. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. God bless and stay strong, as you build upon the proud and wonderful legacy your parents left to you.
