Lois and Linda:We were sorry to learn of your mother's death, but she had a good long life (without, we hope, too much suffering and illness). We're leaving for Seattle on Monday and will be unable to attend the funeral. But we send our deepest condolences. Harriette and Carrolle

Mrs Rinaldi was a wonderful friend to my late Mother, Angie Celone.
When my mother passed away she wrote to me and kept in contact with me for many years afterward.
What a wonderful person she was.
It is with great sadness to learn of her passing today
