Mrs. DeLeo didn't just raise her two strong, wonderful daughters, she was an important part of all their friends' lives as well. From the delicious meals to the shuttles to ski club to all the silliness in between...Mrs. DeLeo was always there with a laugh and a warm hug that made us all feel part of her family. Wishing Mr. DeLeo, Kristin, Wendy and their families peace and strength from a lifetime of beautiful memories.
