We will miss you, Mom. You put a fight right to the end but this was too much. You will always be remembered by everybody who got to meet you. Now you’re in heaven with Dad. We love you.
Bob, Tammy, Tom and families..I am so very sorry for the loss of your mom. She’s with your dad at last which will bring you comfort. I had no idea she was ill as I haven’t been to Catherine St. with the lockdown. I’ll be with you all in spirit for her services. We had many years of being next door neighbors and I watched you all grow up.
Fondly, Kathy
Sorry for your loss…
