Dearest Dottie,
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. It hurts my heart to think of your sadness. I send my love and prayers to you and your family.
My condolences to the Labanca family. I grew up on Nicholas Drive and was friends with Ricky for many years. Mrs Labanca was always so kind and generous to me, sometimes making us lunch or a snack when we’d have a pit stop from playing. My mom marveled how I would eat things there that I wouldn’t try at home but it always tasted good. : )
I was blessed with many nice neighbors and I’m glad I got to know your Mom and Dad and was able to catch up with her about 10 years ago and was able to tell her.
Our deepest condolences and our prayers go out to you, Dottie, at this sad time. May she rest in peace, and may the Lord support you in this time of need.
our love
Dottie,
