CaroL and Karen: You would not remember me but my father, Michael Koroly, was very good friends with your mom, through Goodyear and then your dad Ray. I remember them coming to dinner frequently and the good times that they shared. She was a nice lady. We will keep your family in our thoughts and prayers.
