Dear Doreen, Lynn, Frank and Geri,



Please except my sympathy on the loss of your Mom. I don't know if you would remember me but I lived across the street from you on Race Ave many years ago when you kids were little. It was the Stasinopoulos and DeCola families, I used to fix your mother's hair, we had so much fun she used to make me laugh, I remember she used to drive a station wagon and always played volleyball. We had many good times. I lost my Mom 2 1/2 yrs ago, hopefully you will find peace with the memories she left behind. I was sorry I could not make the services.



Sincerely,



Jeanne Garofalo (Stasinopoulos)

For we know that when this earthly tent we live in is taken down—when we die and leave these bodies—we will have a home in heaven, an eternal body made for us by God himself and not by human hands. We grow weary in our present bodies, and we long for the day when we will put on our heavenly bodies like new clothing Our dying bodies make us groan and sigh, but it’s not that we want to die and have no bodies at all. We want to slip into our new bodies so that these dying bodies will be swallowed up by everlasting life. God himself has prepared us for this, and as a guarantee he has given us his Holy Spirit.

2 Corinthians 5:1-2, 4-5

May God take you in His loving arms and may you rest in peace. We will miss you and your memory will live on in our hearts forever.

Love, Bob & Rhonda Rycraft

Dorothy:



I will really miss the visits with you. I so enjoyed seeing you every month and know how much you enjoyed the cookies. When I came on Friday and learned that you went to the hospital, I was really concerned.



May God bless you and I know my Mom was there to greet you in heaven. Won't you two have fun hanging out together! I'm envious!



Love you!
