Jamie and I lived next door to Cathy and Joe for 24 years. We could not have asked for more loving and caring neighbors. We shared ovens at holidays, had mass in their basement whenever Cathy´s sister came in from New York, wine and cigars on a regular basis and always shared lots and lots of love. We will miss her! Holding your family close to our heart.
