My mother, Evelyn Jacobs, wanted me to express her sympathy to your family. She has fond memories of your mother and her friendship from many years ago. They were once neighbors on Arch street at the time I was born. My sister (Dorothy) stayed the night when mother went to the hospital. They swapped childcare for each other occasionally before we moved from Little Rock. My brother (Rick) and I played with Gary during those times. May your special memories of family times bring you comfort.
