Funny how time goes by and you don't remember alot, but mention a name and the memories overtake you, many fond memories of our childhood. I'm so sorry for your loss, but she's now with "Chick" continuing their time together. I will keep you in my prayers. Karen Strzelczyk(Walling).

Cathy, Diane & John,
It has been many, many years since our days on Mason, in Burbank. I will always remember your Mom & Dad with fondness. Many days spent hanging out in front, on July 4th, and will never forget your Dad's Christmas Eve visits, with the bells and the bottle!!! Great times!! My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. All of our parents are in heaven sharing a martini right about now! God Bless.
