We have pictures of your family and friends from 7419 Arnim. That we had found in a box tucked away. We would love to return them to the family. My name Gerardo Jerez Sr. My phone is (832) 597-0598. My mother in law lived in the same house. She recently passed way too. And we didn´t want to throw them away.
