    Katie and Nora, I just found out that both your mom and dad have passed away....I am so sorry for your loss. I don't know if you remember, my daughter Laura and I lived next to you on Grissom Dr. You girls and Laura would play together. Your mom was always so nice to us. She helped us out many times. Once she repaired/replaced the music box in Laura's teddy bear so it played music gain. I remember she explained to Laura that fixing the music box was like how the doctor fixed Laura's heart. Your mom was an angel. I didn't know your dad as well, but I remember him always holding your little dog, if I remember correct, that was Shadow. Again, I am so sorry for your loss. I wish you both peace. Carolyn Buvala cbuvala@yahoo.com
