"Save some for Kim"... she used to say from her standing spot in the kitchen when food was placed on the table at dinner time. As the boys would dig into that Angelo's pizza as if they hadn't eaten in days!! She made sure I got a slice.
To my dear sweet Browne, Kennedy, Carracis. Growing up next door to your Irish, big, loud, messy, fun, awesome family is certainly one of the highlights of my life. I adore every single one of you.
I loved your mom, as I love your entire enormous family. So, thank you.
Thank you for taking such great care of your mom, my Mrs. Browne. And for allowing me to be part of all of it for 50+ years. I am, in part, who I am, because of your family's love. And that means more to me than I can ever tell you.
Forever, my sincere gratitude.
Love, Kim
