Nick and I are so sorry for your loss. Words cannot express how our hearts ache for all of you. I know that no amount of words, and no amount of “doing things” for you can ever take away the pain you feel, or the hole that now fills your hearts just know that we love you and that we here for you. We pray you find comfort and solace in the fact that you are not alone. Whatever you need, we are here.

Dear Paula, James and Joanne, I am so sorry to hear of Flo's passing. She was a wonderful, sweet woman and I'll remember her always. When I saw her, no matter how much time had gone by since the last time, it was always as if we had just seen each other yesterday. It was great to see her in January, at my father John's funeral, and she had many kind words. Our grandparents and parents have a long history together which I'm sure we will continue. Our hearts go out to yours. Philip Jelatis and family

Mrs. Karon is an angel in heaven. We all feel blessed to have been a part of her beautiful life.

Dear Paula, Jimmy, Joanne and all family members.
I have only warm thoughts of your Mom (and Dad).
Many of my happy childhood memories were spent with you, and your parents.
(Especially when I dropped in, with curlers in my hair after going to the "Hodgkins Spa")
Your Mom was always smiling, warm and welcoming.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Thea Flo always had a smile on her face and a warm greeting, even the last time I saw her, at Christine's wake. She was so brave about her cancer and during Theo Angelo's passing. I am glad they will be together again. Their memories will be eternal. Our sympathies to Paula, Jimmy and Joanne and to their families.
