IN LOVING MEMORY OF MY BROTHER MAX DE SANTIS 20 MAY 1969 TO 14 JULY 2021 AND IN LOVING MEMORY OF MY MOTHER VIRGINIA DE SANTIS 31 JULY 1936 TO 28 JULY 2021. AS A CHILD AND YOUNG ADULT I REMEMBER HOW MY MOTHER ALWAYS ARRANGED WITH HER DEAR FRIENDS THE BARKERS AND THE HARPERS ON CHRISTMAS FOR US ALL TO GET TOGETHER TO CELEBRATE THE HOLIDAY AND NEW YEAR. AT CHRISTMAS GATHERINGS AT THE BARKERS HOME, ALONG WITH MANY OTHER FRIENDS AND AQUAINTANCES, WE CELEBRATED THE HOLIDAY AND THERE WAS ALWAYS HOT GROG TO DRINK, HOMEMADE TREATS TO EAT, AND, DEAR TO MOTHER AND MRS BARKER'S HEARTS, WE GATHERED AROUND THE BARKERS'S PIANO AND SANG CHRISTMAS SONGS. MAY MAX AND MOM REST IN PEACE.
