Reggie and Tommy,
So sorry to read of the loss of your beloved mom. I remember the days when we were young at Oakland Beach Union Congregational Christian Church. I also had the pleasure of working with her at Ann & Hope in the mid 70's. May God bless you and help you get through this loss. Your mom was such a beautiful woman and always had kind words for everyone as well.

Love,
Nancy Oliver Russo

Reggie & Tommy,
I was so saddened to hear from my Mom of your Mother's passing. I remember her fondly from my days long ago at Oakland Beach Cong Christian Church. Always a soft spoken lady and how she loved you both.
I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers at this time.
