Raymond & Carolyn and families,
I am so sorry to hear of your mothers passing, also of Bobby's passing. I was unaware until I talked to my sister today, 10/16. She was a nice lady and a very good friend to my mother. Our families had a lot of good times together and also some sad times, but our mothers remained friends as good friends do, being there for each other in times of need. My sympathy and prayers are with you and your families. Love, Linda (Manni) Manuppelli & Family
