Dear Big Mike: I'm was sorry to hear you have received your call from above. Mike it is a long time away fron Sacramento Blvd. & Lexington St. the "Sactons SAC club house, the corner we all enjoyed 'hanging out" on. Across the Street from Blessed Mother Cabrini Church. I know we shall all meet someday soon. In I hope a better place. And remember those old neighbor days we shared in our youth. Peace to all your wonderful family, although I have not known them they must be like you, good people. To them all I extend my sympathy
