Kathy, I just heard about the loss of your mom. I remember sitting in your Chicago house watching her cook! She was one of the warmest, kindest persons I have ever met. My prayers are with you and your family.

Ms. Giacalone was a great person and lunch mom. She was always very nice to everyone. It makes me sad now that she is gone. I will miss her very much. I'm very sorry for your loss.

I was in first grade at st. giles last year and Mrs. Giacolone was my lunch mom. I really missed her when she was sick and I prayed for her every night. I miss her and really really liked her.
