My beautiful and intelligent grandmother, my best girl friend and cheerleader. She had a great attitude about my disability, and encouraged my writing hobby. We loved cultural activities, games, and foreign languages. She spoke “perfect infinitive French” . She was so caring toward many others. The world was blessed with her presence for 97 years.

My brother loved newspapers and became a journalist while still in his teens.

At his funeral in upstate New York in May, many mourners spoke of how important family was to Peter. One proof of this is the effort he made to stay in touch, despite the challenges of time and distance.

I knew Joan for a long time, since our children were young-at this point our kids are very adult, late 50’s and 60’s. She has always been an inspiration to me as she was one of the first woman I knew who was in business, married, a mother and a motor cycle rider in her younger days. I’ve been missing her!
