Trudy & Art:
I know JoAnn sent you condolences from the Celeste family, but I wanted to write to you myself. Your mom certainly had longevity - 90 years. Just within the last 2 weeks, I connected with our cousin, Michael and his wife Kay through a classmate of mine from Nsg School. I had a nice conversation with Kay. I don't think they know that your mom just passed away, nor that your dad died. My husband and I moved to San Diego about a year ago, so as JoAnn mentioned, we are all out here now. Our youngest, Leon, is the only one who had children - 3 lovely girls, now aged 20, 24, 25. Would love to hear from you - call me or email (619 255-3345).
My sincerest condolences, Sonya
