I periodically think about the good times our families shared in Westfield as I grew up. My parents were such good friends to Young and Sylvia and Dawn and Treva good friends to my sister and me. My fondest memory was when Young and Sylvia invited us to their home for a taco party, my first time eating a taco. My dad and mom (Jack and Gloria) have since passed away and I'm so sorry to hear of Sylvia's passing. I know it's been probably 50 years since our paths have crossed, but know that I still hold fond memories of your wonderful family, and always wondered how you all were. God bless you all.
