Rich I was so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. Your father and entire family will be in my thoughts and prayers. Although I did not know your mom well, the times I talked to her you could tell she was a very nice woman and mother.

Living downstairs from aunt Sophie, I will never forget her vibrant voice. Her sharp memory made her the Kos family historian as well as family champion. I will fondly remember her and offer my condolences to uncle Hank, Karen, Rickie and Barbara and all who loved her dearly
