High School. I am glad your mother made 100. Mine almost did. It is always hard to let them go though. My sympathies
to you all.
I would like to offer my sympathies and know she lived a full life and had wonderful children. I know I went to school with them.
Tony, a special prayer goes out to you at this time. It’s so good to have Joe Clark around to let us know when important things happen in our lives. God bless!
With love and sympathy from Buddy and Pat DeLizza and Family.
