    Brian and family:
    I remember well your Mother and family growing up in Bryanston and also when she and Alvin were married and
    moved to the 15th. Also, then at Prince Andrew when you and Mark started to school. I used to see your Mother
    once in awhile after she and Alvin moved to London. Time marches on but memories remain. Thinking of you all at this sad time and sorry we cannot be with you.
    You are in our thoughts and prayers.
    Margaret(Needham) and Mark McCullough
