Loria,
I am truly sorry to hear of your Moms passing. She always treated me with respect.

Dear Leonard, Lori and Rani,
I was sorry to read of your Mom's death last weekend. Cleo played a very big part in my family's life when Billy Todd and Missy were adopted. She babysat so many times and the kids both loved her dearly. It was fun watching the 3 of you grow up and one of my favorite home movies is of Rani and Billy playing in the plastic pool in our back yard on 35th.
Sorry that I will be out of town on Saturday but will be thinking of you and your families with love and prayers. There is a special place in Heaven for kind and gentle Cleo.
