George and extended family, please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of your mom. Having grown up on Deerfield St in Squantum we as kids spent many a day playing wiffle ball in the side yard of your house with your blessed sister Janet watching us. Your mom would be sure to make us all peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I will light a candle this Sunday in Memory of your mom and I'll say a special prayer for all of you.

Take care
