Mike,
I just heard of your mom's passing. Your mom (and dad) were wonderful people. I last saw your mom at the St. George Greek festival in Schererville a couple of years ago and she looked well. May her memory be eternal.

I am sorry to hear of the passing of Mrs. Raysses. Mike is a fellow Highland High grad, and it's always sad to know a friend has lost his mother. Please accept my sincere condolences.
