Not sure what to say?





Dear Flajole Family, I am so sorry to learn so late of your dear mother's death. I met Rita at many Myers' family functions, which I attended with Vincent Kriley. She was a lovely woman, always very kind to me, and I now will think of her resting peacefully. Love to all of the Flajoles.

You are absolutely beautiful on the inside and out!
So sweet, hardly ever rose your voice! Even with 17 children and 46 grandchildren! To me, I see you as an Angel! I feel truly blessed, I was lucky enough to be able to call you Grandma! We will miss you, but you had a long run on Earth! Now it is time for you, to redeem the fruits of your labor! And be with Grandpa!
I just want you both to know, that you left the earth better than you found it! I love you sooo much!! Xoxo

Even though I never met Mrs. Flajole I know that she must have been a wonderful person. I grew up with Peter and he is a great guy, this is in part because of his loving mother. I will keep Peter and his family in my thoughts and prayers as they go thru this trying time in their lives. God bless!
