Beth and Jeff - I am so sorry.
Your Mom was very special to me. I've known her for 63 years...
We met in Mrs. Zabadow's kindergarten class at PS 139 on Cortelyou Road in Brooklyn in 1957 or 1958.
We were friendly through 1st grade but then my family moved to Oceanside, NY in 1959.
Fast forward to 3rd grade, and who walks into my third grade class? Emily! Jeez, of all the gin joints...eh?
We became fast friends for life along with Lorrie DeVries. We were - Winkin', Blinkin' and Nod.
RIP dear Em.
