Dear Helene,



It's been a "few" years, but I saw this obit, and recalled wonderful memories of you and your parents.

I have no idea what ever happened to you, what city you live in, or if you still sing?

Condolences on the loss of a wonderful man, and a terrific father. Best wishes going forward.
