I read about your Mom in the paper and I am sorry.I sent cards at Christmas over the years and sometimes Aunt Ria would send a short note back with her card. I hope her final years were good. My deepest sympathy to all of you. With love and prayers. Your cousin, Chris (Bott) Szymanoski

To all that knew my Gram-
Thank you to all who have left their heart felt stories and prayers for us at this hard time. My Gram and i may have "bickered" a lot when i was younger, but now that i look back some are quite funny and i will always remember. She lived a long wonderful life that gave us all beautiful memories that will never be forgotten. Thank you to everyone-

I will always remember her laughter and the loving way she looked at Charlie, when he cracked a joke. Ria was also a great cook and I can remember, even being as young as I was, enjoying her roast beef dinners when my parrents would visit. I will miss my Aunt Ria. We will all miss her.
