Janet, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this sad time. My family, Cosmo and Josephine Mazzo, were good friends of George and Irene. Our families became friends when Mom and Irene were hospital roommates March 1946, when their first son, Paul and I were born at Medina Memorial hospital. In 1954, Larry was born close to the time of my younger sister, Mary Ann's birth.
Mom passed away this past May/. She was 95.
May the many precious you and your family have of Larry help ease your sadness at this time.
