Condolences to the loved ones of Mrs Czikk. I have a memory I would like to share from long ago. I was driving my parents crazy because I was sooo crazy about New Kids On The Block. I was explaining his to Marie, and Mrs Czikk over heard. She said, "I understand, I used to feel that way about the Beattles." She amazed me by getting to our teenage level like that, and brought him a smile to my face. Though I haven't had much contact with Marie of late, I will remember her mother's kind smile. Best wishes to you.
