Dear Cousin Harvey, I miss you already! I will always cherish our weekly visits with Starbucks coffee & my homemade Mondel Bread. Baking for you was such a pleasure & you were such a good sport when I needed more steps for my fitbit. Rest in peace my quiet wonderful gentle cousin.
Love you....Hollis
