To all the Kosovsky family:

My heart goes out to all of you as you mourn the passing of Mel. What found memories we all had growing up on Seminole Circle. Your parents will always hold a special place in my heart. May all these memories you shared of your parents (Betsy and Mel) bring you comfort now and forever. Your parents were the best, a real gem. I loved them both dearly. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you.
