Dear Joe, Gino and Kathy, and Al, Your mom was a source of such joy to our family the years that we lived together on Miller Ave. Our girls loved playing in her yard and eating her cookies, and she was greatly missed after we had to move away. I know how much she loved her "angels," and that love was fully mutual. She would tell our girls often, "God is my God, and my Father, and my Best Friend." I am thankful that she is now with her Best Friend, even though we will always miss her. Praying for all of you in your loss. Daniel and Melody and girls
