Diane and Jerry,

Both of you are in my prayers at this trying time. I shall never forget all the fun times with your Mom shopping and sewing.

Dear Diane,
I'm so sorry to hear of your Mother's passing. I remember her shopping at "Turnstyle" when we worked there. She was such a beautiful lady. I'll keep her in my prayers.

Mrs. Ward and family,

I am so saddened by the passing of Grams. I consider myself a better person for having been involved in her life. I have and share the fondest of memories with all of you and Gramas and Gump. The summers in York at their alwayse welcoming home are very dear memories. I found in Grams and Gump and your family an extension of my own. I know that Grams is in heaven along side of gump in a castle that Gump has no doubt built for Grams. They are together and are happy. We will all miss Grams and we will all never forget her.

Sincerely Yours,
"The Green Grocer"

Dear Diane -- I'm so sorry to hear about Rose. She was such a nice lady, as well as the leader of my Girl Scout Troop back in the 50's. And she was so nice to my mother Doris (who died in 2005). We could always count on "Mrs. Giandomenico" (as we called her) to buy those St. Francis Whist Party tickets, Christmas wrap, etc., too. I have thought about her at times over the years and hoped all was well. Looks like she lived a long life and enjoyed being close to you and your family; and I'm glad to hear that. I love the photo, too. I remember she was always impeccably dressed and her hair was neatly coiffed; and I can see that she carried that with her to her golden years. Take care... Sincerely,
