Kevin, when my parents were living behind Carmen's off the old Airport Road, we would often walk down Trettel Lane. At one point, we stopped in to say hi to your mom. She was a darling. I've very sorry for your loss. I think about you from time to time and hope all is well in your world. I see we are neighbors (somewhere) in St. Paul. My condolences, Kevin, to you and your family.

My deepest sympathy to you and your family. Best regards- David Gilderman
