Our sympathy on the death of your mother and my Father's Aunt/my namesake. To honor her memory I would like to share one of my memories of visits as a child. I remember Aunt Margaret and Uncle Sam calling and saying they were coming to visit when they were only a few blocks away when we were growing up in Toledo Ohio. Mom would have us all rush around cleaning and straightening up until the moment they drove up the driveway. We all then acted like "sure the house is always this clean and tidy."

Dear Family,
I'm remembering the smiling face of your mom and the laughter your parents brought to our house. It's a joy to recall my parents happiness when they were together. Years and miles separate us, but the foundation that our parents gave us remains. I imagine there is quite a party going on in heaven! Sending my love and condolences. I'm sorry we are unable to attend her mass, but please know that many hearts are with you in thought. God bless you all. Sincerely, Kathy Lowery Nasca
