Joey, Jimmy & Paula,
What a nice lady. My earliest memory of your Mom goes back almost 50 years. Hard to believe-where does time go?!? She used to walk Jimmy, a girl named Carol Russell and me to Kindergarten when we first started at good ol' Hoffman school. I probably drove her nuts with my constant talking then! Then there was the flood of 72, and i remember hanging out a lot with you guys that summer. Marty the Milkman with his cigar burning (was that your Mom's brother?) I remember him driving us everywhere
on that milk truck. Later in the early 1990's I knew the Feinstein's so I got re-acquainted with your Mom when she worked in the Cameo shop. She still was the same pleasant person with a great sense of humor that she always had been. Had you guys not moved I probably would have still seen her from time to time. Great woman she will be missed-God Bless!
