Terry and Family, Was saddened to hear of your Mother's passing. What a wonderful and caring lady she was. East Reading and 'Shoey' will never be the same without her. we will always remember all the great times as kids enjoying the friendship and neighborhood kinship on South 17th Street. She will be dearly missed by all. So thoughtful of you to provide a second home for her in her later years. God rest her in Heaven with your Dad and my Dear Aunt Mabel. I'm sure they will be making Faustnauts in Heaven. God bless yor Family during these tough days. Kak and I will be making the trip from Rome NY to be with you and yours. Your good friends and fellow neighbors, Kak and Mitty.
