Sam: I was sorry to read about the loss of your mother. Although I never knew her, I will never forget working with you at the Berwyn Animal Hospital in the days when you were just learning about "eyes". Think of you often.

Vainisi family, So sorry to hear about your loss. My mother and yours sang in the choir together forever and one of my fondest memories as a little girl was hearing them sing and then being invited to eat at the Vainisi house after Mass!! She was a wonderful lady & will be missed.

Dear Jery and family, we are saddened by your lost. My mother spoke highly of your mother and still does. She thought she was special and was always nice to her. We cannot attend the wake as my mother Bertha is too tired to travel. She just turned 90. God Bless. Jim
