My deepest condolences to Janet and the entire Maglia family.

June 21, 2014

Good Morning,
Our deepest sympathies go out to all of you. Joan was a sweet lady and kind neighbor; we will all miss her.
Regretfully, we missed the wake last night: ' went by "Heeney-Laughlin", twice! At @ 4:30 PM, the parking lot at Curley Funeral Home was virtually empty and, thinking that we got it wrong, we returned home!
Oh, well; we'll see you at mass this morning. (We do know how to find our way to St. Barnabas.)
Again, our deepest sympathies for the entire Maglia family.
Sincerely,
Anne Marneris and Jim Cunningham
