Dear Joyce: I was very saddened to learn of your brother Jack's passing. There are many pleasant memories of our growing up as children, from Lawrence St. to North Albany. Your family has been full of fond memories for me. I always looked up to your brother Jack when we were kids and always had great respect for him. I can remember all those key hits he made while playing baseball with Sacred Heart in the CYO League. North Albany was a great place to grow up in, it was like one big family. May the Lord bring Jack into His arms and comfort you and his family. Your old friend Harold (Sonny) and Joan Drossos.

The Barrows Family,
Although I didn't know your dad very well; I do know all of you. If the saying "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree" holds truth; then he was surely a wonderful person. I'm very sorry to hear of your loss.
