Deb & Family,
Your mom was a wonderful, caring, person and will be missed immensely. She and I had a very good rapport, and I would be sure to call and try to visit with her whenever I was in Buffalo. We also exchanged many cards over the years. My love & prayers are with you all at this time. Your mom and grandmother will be sorely missed by all who knew her, but know that she is in a better place and again happy with the family she has missed.
My deepest sympathy and love are with you all at this time.
Cousin, Betty (Delmonte) Mitchell
