- My favorite memory of OUR family is the annual cookouts in Pelham Bay Park! One time Bobby Reid rode a skateboard down the ramp that led from the train station to the parks entrance. He was smiling and laughing all the way down, as we cheered him on. Unfortunately he broke his leg, but he was the bravest and most popular adult in my book on that day!
Rest In Peace Bobby, you are missed.

Life Lessons
You may have thought I didn't see,
Or that I hadn't heard,
Life lessons that you taught to me,
But I got every word.
Perhaps you thought I missed it all,
And that we'd grow apart,
But Dad, I picked up everything,
It's written on my heart.
Without you, Dad, I wouldn't be
The woman I am today;
You built a strong foundation
No one can take away.
I've grown up with your values,
And I'm very glad I did;
So here's to you, dear father,
From your forever grateful daughter.
