Linda Linnett
Hi Barbara,
I'm Linda Linnett. My parents are George and Jean Balle from the Bronx. I know your parents were great friends of mine. I came across the very sad news about your brother Paul when I googled him. Please accept my condolences on his passing. The reason I was looking for him is that I wanted to know if he or now you or David would be interested in some photos of your parents when they were young . I'm sure they were from the early 1950's. My Dad passed away in 2009 and my Mom in Aug. 2015. I came across the pictures while going through family photos, etc. I remember Paul the best as he was my age. I can still see him standing in my Mom's kitchen in Howell, NJ asking me if I wanted to play 52 Pick-up. I think I was 10. There were cards all over the floor. We had a good laugh over it. He didn't even help me pick them up! LOL
Please let me know if you would like the photos. I would be more than happy to send them you. My email address is [email protected].
Again, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Linda
PS I saw your picture online. You look just like your mom!
