Harry and Aram, I want to express my condolences on the passing of your wife/mom. Through one of her best friends, my Aunty Rita, I got to know Lucille as a straight shooter with a great sense of humor - a rare combination. That musta been the teacher in her.
May she now rest in peace after what I imagine was a difficult battle for you all.
