Mary, Andy & Boys - Richie, Agnes & Kids: I'm so sorry to hear about your Mom's death. We just spoke of her at our reunion in April. I have such fond memories of Jad, going back to your home on Thomas. She always had a smile on her face & a slice of babka to share. Jad was always willing to help whenever asked. I especially remember Frau Campbell continuing to solicit her to supply rye bread from Imperial Bakery for Deutsches Tag at the Immaculata, even after we'd graduated. Today, Jad & your families are in my thoughts & prayers.
