When dad was transferred to the Pentagon, we lived so close to you all that we came and visited on Sundays. Those times were so special for me. I remember how handsome Ronald and Mark were and how beautiful Barbara was. I even remember your poodle Tanya and how she loved to steal paper money. Sitting around the table, eating delicious food - enjoying family and laughing at stories, was the highlight. Seeing my mom and your mom light up the room with laughter and teasing are memories that are etched in my mind forever. I will always remember Uncle Sal's great laugh and smile. Even at my age then, I knew how much he adored Aunt Sandra and all of you. You all were his pride and joy. Your home was slways so warm and friendly to me and that feeling has never left me. I felt safe and loved in your home and that is because your mom and dad, my Aunt Sandra and Uncle Sal made it so. I hope each of you know that even though I haven't seen you in such a long time, I think of you often and I know if given the opportunity, I could easily pick up where we left off. I hope you will find comfort in knowing that your sweet mom and dad are reunited in heaven patiently waiting for the rest of our family. Love to you all - Yvonne
