    Dear Robin, Jackie and family:
    I am so sad to hear about the loss of your Mom. I always enjoyed spending time with her, and I have fond memories of her kindness and love for family. I always enjoyed speaking with her at the Building when I would visit my Dad. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you, and may your mother’s memory be a blessing.

    -David-
