Dear Cathy and Anna
I haven't been able to get you both out of my mind since you got the call that morning. My heart aches for you both, I know exactly what that felt like. I've experienced that myself. I just wanted to tell you something interesting. I had dinner at Antoine's Tuesday night. Between courses , I stepped out front to use the phone and several of the veteran Antoine's staff were out there taking breaks, smoking cigarettes and talking. I joined in the conversation and we were talking about how many people that work there have been there for years. Fixtures. One of the men brought up the fact that Marshall Rodriguez died that day. They all were talking telling stories about this man they knew so well. I thought for a moment, no cant be the same , Mr. Rodriguez. I did not know your Dad, or that he was at Antoine's so long. Then I read the obituary. I thought of you at dinner that night , several times. Small Wonderful World. I wish I could have met him. He sounds like someone worth knowing. Love Catherine Pilie- Ulta
