Dear Helen and family....So sorry to hear about the death of your father. I have fond memories of the kindness of your mom and dad and the meals your mom would cook for us sometimes between classes and work.

I'm sorry to hear of Uncle Pete's passing. Though I hadn't seen him in many years, I will always remember him taking me to the trailers across the street. I will also always remember when coming over to visit he would have twisted nails that I would try to take apart. That was over 40 years ago but I will never forget. I hope you all are doing well.
