I am sorting through my mom's recipe box this week and found a recipe of Coffee Cake from Joyce Fulitano. I don't remember how my folks knew the Fulitano family. It may have been my dad's high school years, Navy service or his stint at KRNT-TV with Joyce's husband. It was a great reminder of all the friends my folks had in Des Moines.

My sincere and deepest sympathies to the Fulitano family. Jill, I think of you often. I knew when I saw your mother's picture in the paper that you were her daughter. You look so much like her. Make God comfort and keep your family. Until we all meet again. Won't it be a great day?
