We are very sorry for the loss of your Mom. She was in touch with me over the past 15 years, sending cards and we tried to keep each other up to date with our families. My husband Gary and I visited them whenever we were in the city. Our last visit, your dad was taking care of her so it had been a while. But whenever we stopped, they were always so welcoming and gracious to us. Our sincere condolences to your family during this sad time. Antoinette and The Manzella Family
