Dearest Ray, Angela, Dave, Jason, and Families:

My most sincere sympathy at the loss of your Mother. Her passing seems so unbelievable to me, just as I know it feels for all of you. Wasn't it just yesterday that we were growing up and playing together on Frederick Avenue? I can still hear our Mothers voices, calling us home for dinner as we all played baseball or basketball or football together. What we didn't understand then, is what we do understand today - that those were extraordinary times, part of an extraordinary childhood, given to us by our parents.

Your Mother leaves us for now, but the legacy she created and leaves behind is totally assured. Every time you look into your childrens eyes, you'll see her there.

You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
