Dear Laura, Kathy, Sharon and Jimmy,
I’m so sorry for your loss. Your mom was always so warm and friendly. I fondly remember spending many celebrations with all of you and your kids. I was even invited to events with your aunts and cousins as a child.
Even after 40+ years, your mom always sent us a Christmas card. Since my dad passed, your mom was the only one who called me Missy. It always made me think of my dad and our childhoods. May your mother’s memory be a blessing.
Laura, Mark and Family, We are very sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers.
Gerald and Ruth Adinolfi
We are so very sorry that you lost your Mom. She was a very nice woman who loved her family very much. I am so thankful I had a long chat with her a couple weeks ago. She seemed happy.
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Marilyn. I always enjoyed our chats while she was out for her walks. I will miss her. Condolences to the family. She spoke of you often.
Linda her neighbor
