Greetings. We were so sorry to hear about your Mom's death, Ray. We have such fond memories of our Thanksgiving dinners long ago, and remember having your mom and dad join us a couple of times. We recall your stories of growing up in China--what an amazing person your mother must have been. Best wishes, Helen and Dave Alexander
