We are so sorry for your loss, Snooky. I wish we could've met your mom. She sounds like such a neat lady. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

What a lovely Lady. She was always so kind to everyone who went to Do Lots including all children. She'd tell Babe exactly where something was on the shelves and he'd find it right away. It was a great store with wonderful people. They have been missed from Mt. Vernon Rd. for many years. God Bless. Diane

Snooky,
I remember Dad talking about how Aunt Marg was in charge of the twins after their mothers death and how hard it was for her in this role over two unruly boys. He respected her and loved her as we all did. Take comfort knowing she is in a better place.
Love,
Chris and Pat Ghiloni

Dear Snooky and family,
I am so sorry you all are separated from your mom and grandma. Try to remember this is only for a little bit and then forever you all will be with her and our Lord! There will be no more goodbyes...she will be healthy and whole...she is happy and would want you to be happy also. She was a very special lady who I am proud to have known. May God bless you all with His peace and grace as only He can.
