Hajjar Family, I will never forget how wonderful your parents were when my parents would drop by (uninvited) your home with the three of us children during the summer many moons ago. We were invited to swim in the pool on Herbert Street and offered many treats. My parents always loved Linda and commented on what an HONEST person she was. She and Yanna came to my mother's almost a year ago to visit after my Dad passed away. We commented on how great Linda looked and how alert she was for her age! We also loved your handsome, refined Dad. You had two wonderful parents. It is always so sad to see them go. It leaves us now to go forward and set a good example for our children. Let's try to keep the strong family ties of the Lebanese tradition. John and Jeanne Weber Corey
