Happy Birthday Linda and Ray!

Happy Birthday to my brother and sister!  We grew up close together and remain close together despite the long distance.  Memorial Day (or as Nana always said, "Decoration Day") usually began with a trip to "Pop's" grave at St. Agnes Cemetery.  That cemetery was so big, you could get lost driving around the hills and turns.  As Nana used to say, "keep heading 'up' ".  And then the cookout, usually at Linda's and Louie's.  So many memories of water fights and neighbor revving up his lawn mower.  Fun times!

Linda and Louie will be closer for a good chunk of the year when they spend the winter in their new condo in Bradenton.  Now to get Ray and Iz to do the same!  Love you both and miss you both! Enjoy your day!

That is great Richard, I really enjoyed reading it. Your Mom & Dad should be very proud of the family they left behind. Keep it close. You are a great bunch -- Love, Sandy
