Miss you every day, Mom. Easter's here & I'm thinking how great it would be to pick up the phone & tell you HAPPY EASTER!! I'm sure the sun is shining & there are lots of children in your new neighborhood. Say Hi! to Dad. Miss you both. Love you, Kurt & Sal

Hey Mom,
We miss you and dad. If you would do me a favor and talk to dad and tell him that I didn't give the chipper away but pitched it, maybe by the time I get up there, he'll get over it.

Aunt Lorraine: There aren't words that can describe the millions of occasions that you were there when I needed something. It doesn't matter; I have each and every one of them deeply etched into my memory. When I've needed guidance,I've prayed to Germaine; lately to my mentor uncle Otto, but now I can go to you. Thanks in advance, because I still need help. Say hi to my Dad, and see if he ever learned pinochle for Frank,Lee, and Otts. You are surely missed!

I remember when we lived next door
to you on Bernice in Chicago, Il.
You were always so very kind and sweet to us. Your smile always made me feel happy even when I was in a bad mood. Besides being a wonderful neighbor, you were an excellent mother; your children were all so respectful and happy because they had a special mother
who cared for and loved them so dearly. Of course, you were a wonderful wife to Otto. My family and I always spoke of you when we got together for some holiday,and
talked about the old days in the neighborhood. May God grant you peace and joy in your home in heaven. With Love to you and your family. Phyllis & (Andy Pemenko) Castellano & Family.

Ma, one thing I have always said to you and Dad was I am proud to be a Richter. I could not have asked for better parents. I will miss you so much and I love you so much. Please say Hi to Dad when you see him, give him our love and make sure he does not use his mulligan on the first hole. I love you so very much!!! -- Bri
