I will always relish the birthdays, communions, and baptisms we held on our mutual residences on Roscoe in Chicago. Growing up with cousins and neighbors alike. Those I will always treasure and be thankful to God your family and you were a part of my life and I could be a part of yours. Rest in peace with all your family and friends.
