Mrs. R is without doubt the sweetest person I ever had the pleasure of knowing. I reflect on the kindness she showed me and know I am a better person because of it. She was the matriarch of a family I owe for changing my life. Thank you for creating that opportunity for me.

When the people we love are stolen from us, the way to have them live on is to NEVER stop loving them.
Buildings burn. People die. Tragedy happens. But real love is forever.

Rose & Tony,
Your Mom and Dad were always my favorites growing up. I loved the friendship our parents had and I always felt close to your parents. I can still picture your Mom with her beautiful dark hair and huge warm smile. I know she will be missed but as we talked about, I bet she is up in heaven at the bowling alley playing with my Mom and laughing. I wish I could make it in to celebrate her life. Please know my heart is with you during this time. Love Mary Kay Locallo Reichenbach and Dad, Gus Locallo
