Joe and Laura. I had the good luck to have worked with your Dad at BPD. And was very fortunate to have known your Mom and both of you. Back when you were doing the teen age thing. I just heard today, Jan 3, that your Mom had past away from Tony Sacco. My families prayers and thought are with you. You both were fortunate to have loving and caring parents. God bless both of you and your families.

Joe, we are so sorry to hear of the loss of your Mother. I just happened to see the obit in last week's newspaper. Our prayers and thoughts are with your family. We know how you feel. I just lost my father this past January. May our Lord comfort you and yours during this most difficult time.
