PLEASE LET US KNOW.
Out of all my great uncles, Vono seemed the quietest to me. He served Majorie by chauffuerring her around and later Ivory too. We’re thinking of you, Majorie, during this time and wish it was easy to jump on a plane to be there. Hope to give you a big hug next time we come to town.
