Jerome, Brian and Donna & families,

I was so sorry to see that your mom had passed. I had been a student in her home economics class at Greenfield High School and have always kept in touch with her. She was such a wonderful person and was so very proud of all of you. I know that she is very happy to be reunited with Don in heaven. She will be missed by many. Mary Beth Javorek
