Dear Lillian, Bob and children:
I have the fondest memories of Christine when our children attended the Villa. Chris was a beautiful, radiant Mom that was always at every function for the kids, with Grandma in tow. Also, Chris helped me greatly with all my N.U. financial aid documentation last year. If it weren't for Chris....God knows I might not have been able to return to school. God speed to such a strong Mom who will shine brightly on her three children forever and watch dearly over their lives as they excel to make her proud. With love and sympathy; your good friends and neighbors, Dena, Bianca and Jenna Genova

Sal -
I didn't know your mom all that well but could see from her actions how much she cared for you and your sisters. I appreciate her for being so nice to Lateef and treating him like a child of her own. She was so good to you, she would take you and Lateef anywhere you wanted/needed to go. If you need ANYTHING I am here. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
