All my thoughts and prayers are with you, George, and your entire family.Though I only met and spoke to your Mom on a couple of occasions, She was always smiling and happy.I've known you, my friend, for almost 50 yrs., and your compassion and friendship for your fellow man had to come from the one person who nurtured you for all those yrs...Your Mom! May she now smile and nurture the Angels that surround her now.God Bless you, my friend.My limited mobility prevents me from being able to be there and give you a hug. But just know that you & the Saphire family are in my thoughts and prayers.We've lost physical contact with each other in the last several yrs.,but our friendship never died.George, if you wish to talk and reconnect, my # is (702) 762-0629.May your Mom RIP with The Lord!....Sincerely, Gerry Genovese
