Gayle and Roma,

Though I haven't seen either of you for many years, I remember so many evenings at your home in Mt. Wolf, back in High School days, with lots of good food, laughter and a warm and loving home. "Red" always came in the door while you and I were doing homework Gayle, larger than life, sporting a big grin and offering a warm "Hello". I always felt so welcome in your home....and your Dad always said he wanted to "adopt" me. I loved that!

I'm thinking of you and your family with love.
