Pam and Dean,
We were so saddened to hear about your lovely mom's passing. The memories of her smiling face and always wanting to feed you will always stay in my heart. Your Mom and Dad were wonderful giving people. It is so heartwarming to know your Dad and brothers were welcoming her with open arms and they get to have her now. Until you meet again on the other side. May God keep you strong and watch over you. You know they all will be watching you.

Love you
Mar and Lou Falco
