I am so sorry to hear that Suluki's mother passed. I met her once when he and I were visiting Quincy back in '97. It has been a long time since I have talked to my friend, but I pray that all is well.

To the entire Smith Family, thank you for sharing your mother and grandmother with me. She will always hold a special place in my heart and the hearts of our entire family. My mother must have felt that way too when she asked her to become my "Godmother". Thanks for the great memories and the great times!
