Mike, I don't know if you remember me--Vic's ex wife. I just wanted to tell you what a joy it was to have you two at our parties in Tinley. You always brought some scrumptious appetizer on a beautiful plate and were always so gracious. You both brought so much fun. I can't imagine like without Jerry. He was definitely a unique individual. My condolences and sympathy. He will be truly missed.
