Just hearing or seeing your mother's name brings back many a fond memory of the both of your parents, particularly, from the 50's when almost all of the holidays were an occasion for a Genovesi get together!
Here's wishing you well and hoping that your families are filled with lasting memories of the both of your parents.
I'm delighted that my sister was able to join you in the celebration of Josie's life.
Love, Carol Bielefeld and Ken Schliphack
