Just two days ago, we passed your Rockville house, and were reiminiscing about you and Steve. We are sorry to read the news of his passing. Hoping your wonderful memories will sustain you during this dificult time.
Today is Colin's birthday. I remember Steve driving Jay down to the hospital many years ago to visit Colin. Colin would have been 51 years old today.
