Peter and Lou,
I'm sorry about the loss of your father. It's difficult to believe that all of our uncles are now gone. I still have a small picture of the original family portrait Yiayia had on her TV. Do you remember it? It's been decades but I have wonderful memories of our days as children on Goethe and Helen Street....mud pies and Nellie..:)
In deepest sympathy for your loss..... Brenda
