Anita,



I just found out about your mother passing away. I remember your mom well seeing I was at your house in numerous times during grammar school. She was always very friendly to me - and never seemed annoyed that I was hanging around so much!!! On the few occasions I have seen her since I've "grown up" - she always had a warm smile and a friendly hello. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

God bless,



Alice M. Maslowski
