Valerie & Joseph
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. I am so happy I went to visit your mother when my son Tony moved in the neighborhood. She was always so sweet and kind. She is now resting in peace and with all of her loved ones. Hold one to all of those wonderful memories.
Love
