I am so sorry for your loss Maxine, Tom, Joe, Jeff, and Phillip. Your Mom ( Grandmother) was a wonderful women who was always so kind and loving to my family and especially to my Mom. I remember Phillips wedding reception she sat next to my Mom and talked to her for a long time and told her, " Nancy, you can do it and I know you are going to get through this stroke and be back to your self in no time!" That made me smile from ear to ear. May you all find peace in her passing and know that she is now with her loving husband and friends.

Love,
Andrea and Nancy Frandria
