Lorraine and Paul, Your mother will be sadly missed. She was one of the kindest, sweetest, most forgiving person I have ever met. She always made our family feel like a part of yours. She always gave to everyone and expected nothing in return. We loved her from the moment we met her 38 years ago. May she finally rest in peace. Love , Mae and Skippy DeLuca
