Frank, Val and Family,
My Dad (Harold Weiner) and your mom remained close friends all of their lives. I have fond memories of growing up next door to you. My Dad was so fond of you and your family - and besides your parents, and your grandmother, I even remember your dog Skunky!
Thinking of you and am so glad your mom had such a long life and remained in Rego Park!

I have fond memories of being in Ana and Larry's yard as a child. I remember lovely roses in Ana's garden. What a beautiful garden it was! I can hear her calling my mother "Romanita."
I am so sorry for your loss. I hope the love of those around you helps you through this time.
Much love,
Cyra Borsy (Quinones)
