Thank you for all the kind words. My Babu was one of the most amazing human beings to ever walk this earth. She will be greatly missed but her memory will live on as well as all the wonderful traits she instilled upon her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and the many others whose life she touched.

Marc, your mother was always so helpful when I would call for your computer skills. She just knew your schedule and could predict when I would hear from you. My thoughts are with you.

F. Rae. I am so sorry for your loss. I knew Leah through you when she would call to talk with you. We talked many times and I know you and your family will miss her dearly. My prayers are with you all. Millie Modzelesky

Mrs. Maze was the best teacher, best friend, and best person we have ever met. She cared about each and every student. She cared enough whenever we saw her to ask how we were and how were "the kids". The difference was she really cared and listened it just wasn't a question. She never cared that Myrna converted which was a big issue back in the day. She will be missed and in our hearts forever.
Love , Howard & Myrna Alwais
