My heart goes out to you Vicki, Julie, Denny and the rest of your extended families. My god keep you all in his ever loving prayers and watch over you as he has welcomed your mom into his eternal home. We had many wonderful memories growing up down the street from one another and I will always hold your mom close within my heart. My father once gave me a poem and in it he said; "You may not always see me there, but I will always be with you" a saying so very true...God Bless all of you at this difficult time and Always. Love, Sue Venturelli
