It’s been almost 15 years Nanny Burke but I can still smell Sunday goulash being made while playing with my cousins on the swing set. The mixture of Salem menthols and goulash is a scent I will never forget! I love you and miss you and hope you and my GG Ellen Gayle are up their forever in your primes getting chased by good old fashion gentleman of the past smoking cigarettes together and drinking wine.
Edward Burke III
