I am commenting about the son of Mary.. Jim Petrides, he also has a son who is 16 now, living in Pennsylvania with his mother. He looks just like his father and barely knows him. Jimmy never met his grandparents, thanks to Jim. He never wanted him son to be known. We are very proud of him and his dad would be too if he wanted to be. If anyone can help us get Jimmy to meet his grandfather before he passes on it would be welcomed. we have no clue where Jim is at at this time, but would welcome any address where he might be located at.And we send out best to the family. Rev. Mike you knew Mary,Tha is Jimmys mom
