Maria. My heart breaks for you, Carly, Will, Mark and all your loved ones. I will never forget how she brought you to see me some 45 years ago and watched over you (and me) throughout your appointment. My first from that day forward. I know you know how much I liked her and how much you two loved one another. A model mom who helped you to become the same. May God bless her and hold her close to Him and your father. All my love. Xoxoxo Jerry
