Hello, Karen and Maureen, It has been a long time since we communicated. Janice Giangulio (Cox) sent me your mom's obituary. Please accept my sympathy. I remember your mom so well and your dad, too. I wish I could turn back the clock to those days again. I loved them so. My father passed away in 2009 at 92 and my mom, Theresa, is here with me and she will be 90 in July. She will be a great grandmother in about 2 weeks or sooner. I have been living in San Diego since 1986. It would be so nice to touch base and chat sometime. I pray for you and your family at this sad time. Please take care.....Donna and Mom

Karen & Maureen, My deepest sympathy goes out to both of you & I am so sorry for your loss. It is never easy losing a parent no matter what the circumstances. I will remember Edna with fondness. She was always so nice to me. I though she was funny & easy to talk to. I remember the last time I saw her;it was in Krogers and we had a short but sweet catch up visit. Karen, it would be great to see you or talk to you sometime. Take care. Janice Cox

Karen, Sorry I didnt make it to pay my respects but I want you to know you are in my thoughts and prayers everyday. It is so awkward walking past Edna's room and her not being there. I just want you to know she was one of my very favorite residents and even though we didn't see eye to eye everyday (laugh out loud) she was special to me. I'll never forget her and her stories that she told me and I'm glad that I had the chance to take care of her and I do MISS her and will never forget her. P.S. the picture is beautiful. Take care Sincerely, Becky Allen (2North)
