My mother and Mrs Norwalk became good friends and Betty and I became good friends. Even after they moved to Parma, I would ride my bike from W104 in...

Thank you for inviting me. Brenda all ways been good to me and her family all ways made me feel welcome. I know I love all of you it was nice to see all of you. I remember when Brenda collected all that money at her job when Tim lost his arms. That very nice of her. She sure she care about me and my family. I will never forget her It was a very nice service very well put together. Maybe we all can get together again soon. I love her l will not forget her.

Will miss all our great conversations Auntie Bren. You were so much fun. Now you are having fun with UNC Mike. Love you much!!

Mom you were the best. You were loving, generous, protective , encouraging and patient. You taught us good morals n good ethics. Even if it took us a minute to learn the lesson. You will be missed dearly on earth. But we are so happy you are reunited with Pops n no longer suffering. Enjoy your reunion with all your loved ones. We’ll take care of each other. Until we see each other again. Luv your little guy. JR.
