Dear Fran and Joanne... I was so sorry to hear of your Mom's death. I was sorry I was unable to come to the wake but I did attend her mass at Holy Apostle Church today. It was a beautiful and dear service... the girls did a beautiful job with the readings.
I apologize for not staying but I had to get back to work and did want to extend my sympathies for Mrs. Butera. I have many fond memories of Peach Hill Ave... :)
Love, and Take Care of Each Other.
