Dear Pat, Nancy, Paula, Tom, Frank & FamiliesI am so sorry about the loss of your Mother. I have many happy memories of your Mom & Dad & the times we spent together growing up. I remember the fun we had in Iron Mountain, Michigan in the summers with the Tunneys.We had so much fun at all the weddings & parties. Your Grandpa, Clifford was my Godfather. Claire & "Sis" were very special to my parents, Tom & Colette. I am so sorry that we are not able to attend the funeral. My Mom is still recovering from the surgery she had last summer and the complications. She has asthma and lung problems that make it difficult for her to go out in the cold. You are in our thoughts & prayers.Donna Ruffalo, Colette Martin & Sharon Gename
