I woke up this morning thinking about your Mom. I could picture sitting in the back yard on those cool chairs. I remembered the cases of soda and the cherry ice cream. And I remembered how your Dad would always call me "Dilly Dilly" and would take me to the Dairy Queen. Mostly, I remembered how much fun it was to visit and your Mom treated me so special. It was special to my young memories that the Deel's and Metaxa's have grown up together. I will miss your Mom, but I will always have some very special memories of those special folks and the carefree days of youth.

Margie and family. I am very sorry to hear of your dear mother passing. I have known Alice and Dean since working at APG in the 1970. I have received a phone call for the past 25 years or so because you and I share the same birth date. She was a very sweet person and I know your brothers and father and very happy. God bless.
