To the Becker´s. We are very sad to hear about your mom´s passing. You were our first friends in Toledo and we have so many memories from Goddard Road. I remember your mom, always Mrs Becker to me, made a delicious pie from some stalks she grew in your yard and it was my first rhubarb pie. Till this day whenever I get a rhubarb pie I think of your mom.
