Raymond & Nina, I'm so sorry to hear of your Mother's passing.When I think back on my teenage years, I remember spending a lot of time at your house, along with a number of other friends. Your Mom never seemed to mind putting up with all of us...she always had a smile for us. I know you'll miss her, but she'll always be as close as a memory. I'd love to hear from you, Raymond, & you too, Nina. God Bless you & your whole family.
