Dorothy Pomponio was the sweetest person I knew. She was a great mother to her children-Eileen, Lorraine, Doris, Gail, Jane, & Stephan. She was a wonderful lady & always would smile when I went to play with her daughters. May Dorothy rest in peace with her beloved son, Stephan & Lorraine. The picture below is from a birthday party & two of Dorothy's daughters are in the picture Lorraine & Jane. Love, Patty Labazzetta/Mastromonico

Mom I will be planting some "Mum" plants, which were done every Fall for Stephen & Dad. Your green thumb did magic. We had our inside laughs a lot. Never to be forgotten. We always liked burgundy, white & maybe yellow. So, my plan is this weekend to plant them. Don't bother waiting for me. I'll get there.
