  2. Robin, Kevin, and family – I was so shocked to read of your mom’s passing. We go back so many years, From my Uncle Ira being friends with Fred and Pearl, to my working with Pearl and Judy at the Lace Works in Barrington, to my son, Alex, being in the band with Judy’s granddaughter, to seeing the twins at Waddington and subbing for them in library just recently. Know that my thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time.
