Mom, you always found a way to make me laugh. And I think I did the same for you. You made silly faces and voices and had a sharp sense of humor. Thank you for your blessing of our marriage. I will always take care of your Debbie-doo and Toni-Ann. I love you and miss you. Rest well, Mom. We will see you again forever.
I am so sorry to hear about Janet. I was lucky enough to be her Physical Therapist, and remember with smiles, our laughs and our talks. She was a very giving and lovely woman with a sassy touch. I adored her. Hugs to all. And cheers, Janet , in heaven. Debbie Stefanelli
