"Hi Mary, So sorry to hear about your Mom. There is one story that sticks out in my mind. When I was in the 2nd grade. I got mad at Mom, and I packed my bag, with my PJs and a lunch. I ran away from home and walked over to your Mom's house. I walked into the house and she give a bowl of ice cream. Hermina and Mom were on the phone, I got to stay a hour or so and then I went home. I can't forget all her kindness to me and the Family. She will always be in our HEART."
