Jerry, Alexander, Amanda and I are very sorry for your loss. Your mother, Carmella, was a very special person and friend to my Mom and Dad. We will remember her always. We really enjoyed her company at holiday time and I can recall when she taught me how to cook Broccoli and Pasta in one pot. My family loved it. She was a very sweet and thoughtful lady. Our thoughts and prayers are with you your family throughout this difficult time. With Sympathy, Judy, Jerry, Alexander and Amanda Gerber (Schullo)

We are so sorry to hear about Gudma as my family has always called her. I'm glad my mom was able to be there for her and esp. as she died. She and your family has always been a part of our family and will always be remembered as part of the 'Schullo' era. I have pictures of her at my kids Christening and holidays. She is a special woman with a great personality. I'm sure she is in heaven talking with the'man' and catching up with all the family. We have to be thankful she is free from pain and suffering.

All our love and support, Dave , Ant. Andy and Alyssa Norbeck
