To the Farrell family,

My sincerest condolences for the loss of your mom. She was a tremendous person and a wonderful mother. I have many fond memories of her from 58th street to 110th street. She treated everyone that walked through your door like one of her own. She always made an extra space at your crowded table. She left a lasting impression on everyone she met and she'll always be remembered. God Bless.
