October 10, 2019 at 8:38 pmMy sincere condolences to all of you. My mom and dad were very good friends of Medy and Boy. My family and I have many fond memories visiting every year during the holidays years ago. You all were always such gracious hosts to us. Medy was such a caring person as I remember her going out of her way visiting my wife when she was in hospital a while ago. She was very successful in her medical career but was most proud of the family she raised. My heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to you all.
