So sorry for your Loss.
Our deepest sympathies.
I was very sad to hear of Bess’s death. We were roommates when we first moved from Bethlehem to teach in New Jersey.
To Melanie, Robert, Stacey , Lexi , I am very sorry.
So very sorry Melanie and Robert on the loss of your Mom. She was a beautiful person and will always hold a special place in our hearts. Thoughts and prayers are with you
Condolences to the Tauriello family. I had Mr. Tauriello at Charles De Wolf right after he graduated from college, I believe 1964.
