Edith and Gordon were dear friends of my mom(Heather) and father(Gene).They were there for Gene when the laetrile treatments in Mexico went bad. Flying to meet them and arrange accomodations help to make the best of a difficult time.
I am grateful for her lifelong support and love of their dear friends.
Sincerely,
Steve & Mary Biondi
