Just wanted to let you know that you are thought about today and always will hold a place in my heart. The memories of you and your family will always stay with me.
I came upon this page by accident and cried since I knew your father and family from 124 Ft. George Ave. in NY. I remember spending Christmas with all of them and that beautiful tree that adorned the living room. Your father and I had a very hard time listening to Silent Night and cried every time we heard it. I remember his parents and how he cared for his father when he had his strokes. While he had his issues as everyone does, he worked very hard to support his family and that's what I remember the most...he was always working.
I remember Loreen and Doreen (Reeny) as we called her and even that horrible day that that Doberman bit Doreen. It's etched in my memory forever. I remember well both Ronnie their mother and Lorraine, Spence's, second wife, her childeren, and her mother, too. It's like yesterday for me in flashbacks now. Time really does go by so fast.
Well, I wish you and your entire family the best; you come from strong stock.
P. S. My mother who just turned 100 is still alive but my brother, Steven, died on the top floor of the World Trade Center in 2001 in the attacks.
