I...Thank you, everyone for your wonderful comments. I know Melvin would be thankful for your kind words. It's very strange being without someone that raised me from around three years old...there's an odd blank space I feel. But I have a lot of memories, and a LOT of stories. As I said to someone recently, Edna and Melvin are worthy of an Anthony Trollope-like Victorian Triple-Decker Novel!<BR/><BR/>Thanks again to all. Nothing like having a great 'extended family!'Reginald Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01318624469970165605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23443331.post-19000047109642207982007-07-16T01:05:00.000-04:002007-07-16T01:05:00.000-04:00Reggieh, That was so beautiful.
