    Dear Kasharian Family
    Sadly your big family and ours lost our mothers within a month of each other. My heart aches for each of you and I certainly feel your pain. We have so many family connections and wonderful friendships we’ve shared through so many years. Both our mothers had the strongest work ethic ever.
