Mr. Golden I had the pleasure of meeting your beautiful mother,she was such a beautiful person. I enjoyed our talks of our days at Holy Rosary. We were always comparing how things really changed but we remembered how some things were Holy Rosary. My prayers are with you and your family at this time. You were such a great son to your mother I saw the care and love you gave her. God bless you
