In Loving Memory
Dear David, I am sorry for your loss but grateful for your opportunity to have your Mom in your life for so long. I smiled a big one upon seeing some of the family photos in her video tribute from when we were young. I wish you and your family the best going forward and want you to know an old friend is thinking about you.

So sorry to hear about Nissia but she lived a great life with Ken. It was always a pleasure doing business with them and meeting Ken at the Tri-Arc.
