Dear Kristina, I’m very sorry to learn about your Mother’s death. Dad always spoke well of his childhood friend “Tootsie” and happy Chicago days. It was a very.nice summer visit when your family drive up to Solon Springs summer stay. Your Grandmother, Dad, and Mom and you. They were wonderful cooks and Mom was happy to let them take over her kitchen. We ate.so good !!!! Please accept my deepest sympathy and prayers for your Mother’s repose. I’ll have a Mass offered for her soul. It will take some time to recover and heal, the house will be too quiet but your pets will comfort you. With sorrow, Paul Koch
