Loved Mrs V. Haven't seen her for years but growing up with Bobby Mrs V made me many lunches, put on a band aid or 2 and give me a towel when I didn't bring one after a swim in the pool. I remember fun and lots of love in her home. My condolences to all.

To My Dear Friends, I am so sad to hear about your mother/wife. Mrs Vay, was part of my families life long before I cam around often babysitting for two of my older cousins for my aunt Nattie Armendo. Mrs Vay was great! I don't think I ever minded going over to Delmont Ave, it was like another home to me in many ways that is how she made me feel. And there was never ever any pulling the wool over her eyes. They were and still are fond memories. We were all like extended families back then. Very speical times. Thank you Mrs Vay.

My deepest regrets Mr Vay, Rob (brother), Brian, David, Jeff and Di.

Love to you all.
