I would like everyone to know what a wonderful woman and aunt she was. She was truly a mother to me and I will never forget all the love, support and encouragement she gave me those all these years, especially since my own mother passed a few years ago. May you rest in peace with our Lord, my sweet and darling aunt and mother! I will love you forever!
Joey, Pat, Walter and Catherine, You are in my thoughts and prayers. Talking with you all during this very difficult time was a comfort. I hope we can all find peace after losing our beloved Mom's. With Sincere Sympathy,
