I am so sorry that you are going thru such a rough time right now. I just lost my Mom on 1/1/17 so I know how you are feeling. Our Moms were some pretty strong women! Barb you know I loved your Mom and all the fun times we had at your house. She made me feel as if I was part of the family from day one! I am truly sorry that I can not be there Saturday. I committed to helping Wounded Warrior/Soldier Ride that morning with cooking and serving breakfast. I was thinking of coming home Sunday if you will be around i would love to see and talk to you in person. My Love and prayers are with you ALL, Donna O’Hara-Orr and family.

Barb I cannot express how sad I am over your loss. A mom is so hard. Prayers and much sympathy to you and your family.
Greco Family, I was so sorry to hear of the loss of your Mom. She was such a spirited woman. I can recall many Saturday nights her, my Mom and Rose playing cards and ordering pizza to the wee hours of the morning. They sure knew how to have fun. I was forturnate enough to be part of the group one summer when she traveled to Italy with us. Always so much fun in her. May God bless each and everyone of you. Remember the good times. Xo
Doris was a wonderful spirit and knew the Lord as her Savior. I loved her very much and we had many good times together. I just found out about her passing today, August 8. If I knew on time, I would have surely driven down from Boston for a few days. Your mom was always very good to me and provided a home away from home for me and many others. I’m sure God holds her closely in his arms now and I look forward to seeing her again someday. RIP Aunt Doris.
