Reen and family,



I am so sorry to here of the loss of your mom. As I write this, I think back to some of the best summers and times in my life and they were spent on Parkside - playing kickball infront of your house, hanging out on the back porch or in the camper. Your mom and dad had enough kids to watch all of those years and they certainly didn't need a little pest like me hanging around, but your mom was always very kind and tolerant of me. As the years went on and I ran into your mom periodically, she always had a big smile and hello for me. She always took me back to those summer days.



I am sorry I could not be there in person to tell you how I feel about your mom but I have recently moved to Michigan and I am in the process of buying a house.



You and the rest of the Houlihans are in my prayers.



Jimmy
