<p>Dear Roxanne,</p><p>I was so sorry to hear about your loss. I lost my father, Gabriel Arab on the day before the Challenger exploded, January 27, 1986. My mother is 89 and living in a really great Assisted Living place. I wrote you an email back in May of 2011, but I guess you never received it. Today I left a message on your Facebook with my telephone number and email, and a copy of my May 2011 email. I hope you can retrieve my message and contact me, I would love to hear from you. I have wonderful memories of you and I growing up together in Brooklyn -- you with your Shirley Temple brunette curls, and the two of us in our crinoline dresses and patent leather Mary Jane shoes. I saw your father's photo on his online obituary, and it brought back very fond memories of him, and I clearly remember his voice, too. Rocco and Jenny, I remember them both fondly. We are lucky to still have our mothers, and you are so lucky to have had your father for so many great years. Again, I hope to hear from you.</p><p>With sympathy, =============Tina Arab</p>
