My thoughts are with you Mary & your family. Your mom was just the sweetest lady & I am so lucky to have had many lovely times visiting with her. She was always so interesting to talk with & had a beautiful smile that would light up a room. Your mom & dad have such an interesting history & I loved hearing their stories. I know you have many wonderful memories that will help you through this difficult time. Warmest love & hugs, Diane

Unthinkable pain here on earth.
May she have been escorted into heaven by an army of angels and archangels.❤️

Le mie più sentite condoglianze a Maria, Angelo e famiglia. Possa tua madre guardarti e darti la forza e il conforto di sapere che è sempre lì. Tua madre è una mia carissima amica e ci mancherà profondamente. Ora si riunirà con suo marito Dominic e suo figlio John.Possa riposare in pace.
Gregg & I are very sorry for your loss, Mary. We hope you have many happy memories of your mom.

My dear Mary: Our dear, cheery, happy Josie will be sorely missed. She blessed us with her generous spirit and delicious Italian food — always made from scratch!
My heart is with you as you walk through “the valley of the shadow of death” with “The Lord our Shepherd” as your Comforter (Psalm 23). “May the Lord bless you and keep, the Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious unto you; the Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.” Blessings and warmest love and hugs, Myra xo
