Chris, I'm gutted to read this. Every time I walk through our old neighborhood, I think of you. Your passion to create our block party in just the right way showed your love for Gloria, and all the dedication she put into the party for years. It was a pleasure getting to break the tough outer candy shell of yours and see the immense sweetness inside. I'll miss sharing my baked goods with you, and wish you could see the house renovations all done!
