Patrick, Danny, Freddie & Marie, I am so sorry to hear of your mother's passing and I'm sorry I was not able to attend the services. She was a wonderful mother and the love for family and friends shows in the closeness all of you share with each other. Please stay strong and continue the legacy of love and family that your parents instilled in all of you. Cherish the memories. All of you were very good to your mother and she was blessed to have such wonderful children and grandchildren. Please know that you're in my thoughts and prayers. With deepest sympathies, Denise

Patrick, Melissa, Marie and David we are so for your loss. Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. God has called home another one of his children for reason we do not know, but she is an angel in heaven and has no more pain. Your memories you will have forever and the empty feeling will fade in time. All our Love Joann and Billy
