Dear Children of Joan
I too came from a large Irish Family. Hearing about the passing of your Mom brings back so many memories of the passing of my Mom. May it help to know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. I met your Mom on a few occasions and knew the day I met her, that she was certainly a "Quality Mom"! How beautiful it was that all of you were with her at the end. Rest assured that Heaven is rejoicing, as it is there turn to enjoy this great Lady. You all made her so proud !

Hugging you with our Heart's,
Jack and Mike Rio
