Dorothy,
My family and I have aged along with you, and Mom and Dad are 78 and 80, and have health problems, also. I know I won't have them much longer, but we have lots of good memories. Like,I remember the day that picture of you, Calvin, and the twins was taken, when you brought them home from the hospital. My brother, JP, and I ate many a peanut butter sandwich with Calvin. We played baseball in the street in front of our houses in Dania, and walked home from the bus-stop together. We always think of you all fondly, and send our most heartfelt condolences on your loss, Susan Wray for the Wray Family
