So many memories of time spent in the Contakis home. I was just up in the neighborhood yesterday to visit my parents graves and drove through. So many familiar emotions went through me. When we got home I saw that Mrs. Contakis had died.

Lynn, it is all good. SO many years and times we spent together. Our parents' did their very best. I remember when my Dad died and both your parents came to the gathering we had at the house. I cried a lot when I saw them.

Your Mom was always good to me, and I will remember her fondly always.

Much love to you, Lynn, and Tony and Mikey.
