This is to the Gaal family especially Gloria. Sorry I did not know of your father's passing - he was always a kind man. I see the neighborhood in the film and the pictures of all the kids, Georgine, Gregory, Roseanne, Stephen, Eileen as if it was yesterday and oh how I remember your mom, your father's goulash and the piano in the living room - the those were great times. Hope you and your family are well, God bless,

Cathy Paciga (nee Aleksy)
