Candy and Family,

I was sad to hear about your mother. It is hard to loose a parent.

I have wonderful childhood memories of Mrs. Roselee and Mr. Zack. I remember all the great times at your home on Piedmont Avenue and Folly Beach. I also remember “learning” all the holiday traditions, eating matzos and matzos ball soup, Gefilte fish (not a favorite), coconut macaroons, and my favorite, hamentashen.

Your mother was a lady and always took time with me. I was fortunate to have known her.

Safe travels. Love to all.
