Shawn, Ellen and Tom: I'm sorry to see your mom passed. She was always so sweet. She was my great piano teacher. She was a dear friend to my mother and my family. She was so sweet and I've always felt like she was my godmother.

Shawn, Ellen, and Tom there are no words to express my sorry at hearing of Aunt Marge's passing. A float of memories brought tears to my eyes and sullen my heart and yet brought a smile to my face because visiting Uncle Art and Aunt Marge was always a cause for excitement. I regret now not telling her how much I loved her and how much she meant to me growing up. I take comfort that now that her Heavenly stay has begun she came look down knowing she was a truly a second mom to me. You are all in my prayers.
