Our deepest sympathy to Jerry, Walter and Danny on the loss of a very special person and Saints fan. She used to come see me when she went to the games. Our times in New Orleans East were always fun and family oriented.

To my dear old friends Jerry, Walter and Danny...Though it has been many years since I saw your mom, I remember as such a kind and happy lady which reflects in the way she raised the three of you. I am so sorry for your loss but I am happy you had so many years with her.. Love to all of you Yvonne (James) Bergeron
