Peace be with you all. This has been a long and difficult illness for you all. Glad I knew my Aunt Delores. She was a kind and supportive person to me. We studied and wrote the civil service exams together. I will always remember how high her score was and how happy she was after the exam. Delores was always very proud of her children’s accomplishments. Especially school, and work. Scott she really loved your guitar playing and saw it for the talent it is. I was trying to learn and she said boy Scott can really play! He has a gift! you should ask him to help you. Peace be with you.
