Dear Mimi,

This is your old neighbor Vincent Petrovsky, middle child of Jane and Victor Petrovsky. I was thinking of your parents and was saddened to find they had both passed. My condolences to you and your family.

I have many memories of your mom cherishing my gardening talents.

Fondly Yours,

Vincent Petrovsky

Dear Mimi,
We were saddened and shocked to learn at the YMI Christmas party last night (Dec 6) of the passing of your parents and our dear friends. We will always remember your mom and dad with great affection and memories . . . hiking on Mt. Tam with your dad and the family Beagle, happy times at Panorama School, parties at the YMI, and even a fun day when we moved because it was your dad, Larry and Charlie who carried our furniture into our new house in Novato! I can't believe we did not get a chance to say good-by. I don't know if this message will reach you but I will have a Holy Mass said at our local church, Our Lady of Loretto in their honor.
Now I know why our messages were not returned as we always called your dad on his birthday.
Regards,
The Booth Family
Bob, Naydine, Darrell and Robin
