My sincere condolences to the whole family. I'm sure Gail and Renee remember me -- Gail stood up in my wedding to Uncle Frank Danta in 1967. Auntie "Coke" remained one of my favorite "ageless" people of all time. She was quite an extraordinary lady.
Much love to all, and take comfort in knowing how much your mom loved all of you.
