To Pauline's Family,
Sorry to hear of the loss of your Mom. I know my Mom (Nicoletta Quintal) would have been there and sent her sympathy but, as you know, she is in the Nursing Home and does not speak, so I am sending this for her. We will pray for Pauline and you all at this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Nancy Q. Flynn
Daughter of Nicoletta
