Dear Tony,I'm so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. She was always a kind and caring woman and so much fun to be around. I know from my own experience that the pain you and your brother and sisters must have felt as she slipped away must have been very painful. You have my deep sympathy.Please give my warmest regards to the rest of your family and all of your cousins.Be well.Mike Serpe6674 Hidden DriveEgg Harbor, WI 54209
