Dear Scott, Brant, Mr. Golembeski and family,

Mr. Golembeski, I am sorry for your great loss. I was just a little girl when I met your wife.(Ed was my back-door neighbor. I live on Carlisle). I met you sadly at Ed's funeral. That's where to my surprise I found Scott who once lived across the street from me in Hialeah with Brant, Mrs. Rogers, Aunt Ollile, Dolly and family. Life truly is a circle.
Scott, I haven't spoken to you lately and was not aware that your mother passed. Scott and Brant, I want to extend my deepest sympathy to you both. My mom and sister, Kathy also wish to extend their regrets. Scott, I'll get in touch with you.
God bless you and your family. She is at rest.
