Condolences

COLANA CASCIO-HUTCHINSON February 8, 2012
Dear Stacie,My deepest condolences on the passing of your mother. I have so many fond memories of the times I would walk to your home on the way to Forest Park and be greeted by your mom and the delicious aroma of breakfast cooking in those early morning hours. Your mom was so kind as to often drive us the two blocks to school when it was especially cold. May you be comforted at this time and may her memory be eternal. Colana
