Our profound sympathy to the Longo Family on the death of Mary Catherine Longo.

Lucille and Vincent Longo were our next door neighbors on Warner Ave. We purchased fruit and vegetables and soda pop from their Dad, Tony Longo and we still remember his untimely passing.

During the war years when Vince and Lucille were in service we shoveled snow for Mrs. Longo. We remember on summer evenings our Mother used to play the piano and she invited the Longo and Peterson Kids in for refreshments.

A special Greeting to Lucille!

Carl H. Buerger Family, Carl, Richard and Ruth.
