Susan, Lisa

I apologize for not knowing this sooner! It's been 8 months now. Our deepest sympathy to both of you and your families. My parents, Helen and Aram Bajakian, knew your parents for many years.
I enjoyed seeing your parents whenever your Dad had appointments at the VA Medical Center. I would run into them in the hall, elevator, or the cafeteria. I enjoyed having lunch with the family in the cafeteria and catch up and tell my parents about our visits. They were always pleasant surprises to see you or your sister with Vince and Ella at the VA.
Then your Dad would take those trips from Tannersville to VA on his own. He always loved to talk about the Grandkids and Great-grand kids. So proud of all.
I even visited your Dad when he was an inpatient at VA and also in the VA Nursing Home section before the pandemic.

Love,

Vicki, Helen Bajakian
