So sorry to learn of Bootsy's death. His mom and my mom, Rosina, were best friends before either of them married. That friendship continued for life. As a young child, I remember visiting with Carolyn and all the siblings, while mom and Aunt Elaine visited and cooked lunch for all of us. Good memories! Love and Prayers, as I remember all of you.
