Hi Michael ... My cousin Dave texted tonight to inform me of your mother's passing & I wanted to send my deepest condolences. I am so sorry for your loss. My mom also passed in January of this year. When I got the news from Dave, I immediately thought back to all the great times in the neighborhood when we were growing up and all of our parents looking out for the bunch of us. Your mom was a good friend & neighbor to my mom in the years before she moved. I know you have many memories to comfort you at this difficult time.
