I remember your mother very well and worked with her in the tailor shop for many, many years. She was extremely dedicated and my dad truly relied on her. She was an exceptional woman. Jeff

You were a warrior throughout this year-long journey and you fought hard until the end. I’m glad you are finally at peace and reunited with pop. We love and miss you but know that you will be watching over all of us until we meet again! RIP.
