SANDY, AFTER OUR VISIT I REMEMBERED SOME OF THE HAPPY MEMORIES I WAS A BLE TO SHARE WITH AUNT ELEANOR AND REACHING WAY WAY BACK, YOUR MOM TRIED SO VERY HARD TO TEACH ME PIANO, ALAS I WAS NO PADERESKI OR HOROWITZ. NEXT CHALLENGE FOR YOUR MOM, TRYING TO TEACH ME HOW TO SWIM, AND AGAIN I WAS NO JOHNNY WEISMULLER. HER LESSONS IN BOTH HELPED TO AT LEAST KEEP ME FROM DROWNING AND TO APPRECIATE THE JOYS OF MUSIC. I ALSO REMEMBER GRANDMA & GRANDPA'S GOLDEN ANNIVERSAY AT YOUR OLD HOME , YOUR MOM REALLY KNEW HOW TO THROW A GREAT PARTY. FUN AND GOOD FOOD FOR ALL. GOOD MEMORIES OF A VERY CLASSY LADY. SHE WILL BE MISSED. LOVE TO YOU AND FAMILY, SPECIAL REGARDS TO JEFF.
