Mark,
The loss of a parent is never easy no matter how long we get to share in their life. Please know that Rita and I have your entire family in our thoughts during this difficult time. The entire world seems to be struggling with illness, fear and doubt. For you, losing your mom in addition to your great friend Bob Molaro in such a short time, the times are suddenly changing. Please know that our family has always treasured the days spent interacting with you in the Brighton Park school community. Our prayers are with you.
