Please accept my deepest condolences for the loss of your mom. I was just thinking of Alma while decorating my tree because she gave me a beautiful ornament (which brought a smile). I will never forget her.

I was sorry to hear about your mom. I remember her great smile and friendliness when I visited Ann and Bob in Pittsfield so many years ago. I also remember her kindness to Ann and her family and know that it meant a lot to them when she "took them under her wing".

Alma and Joe were always good to us. It was always a fun tradition to go to their house with my family on New Years Day and watch the Rose Bowl and visit.

My thoughts are with the Premerlani family in their time of loss. I loved Alma. She was always quick with concern and advice to keep me on a good path. To her, that was accomplished through education and sports and I have raised my children with the same loving nudge that she gave to me. I wish I could be there with all of you.

The world will miss Alma - what a spitfire! She and my aunt went to nursing school together, were in each others weddings and were friends until my aunt passed. What a caring soul!
