Whenever we went to visit Aunt Madge & Uncle Jetty, your Mom would be sure to be there. My mother was Fran Keating Moore, your Mom's first cousin.

Dear Ruffolo Family,I have such great memories of your mom - my sincerest sympathy to all of you. She was such a great lady. I hope all of the wonderful memories you have of her will provide some comfort to you now. She was always so welcoming to all of Jane & Kim's friends - your house was the central meeting place for our group. I downloaded an old photo I found of her and my mom (I think it was bridge club). Am thinking of you all.Warm wishes, Nancy NorcrossP.S. One memory I have of her was coaching our St. Mark's CYO swim team which won the archdiocese swim meet for some record amount of years. She did a great job!
