22 Mar 2025I am so sad over the death of my friend Christian. I worked at Randall School after school program. Christian has visited my home; he was a neat kid. I have such fond memories of Christian. I can not believe he is gone. You can call me if you would like; would love to visit with you. I know the last time I talked with Christian was at your home on the front porch. He was so proud of a child to be born. I took him a baseball card collection that he enjoyed looking at when he visited my home. GOSH life can so change and change us too. I lost my only son in 2012. I know how you feel. phone 818-313-5020. My thoughts are with you…
