Hi Rich, So sorry for the loss of your mother, the one whose loss can never be replaced. Our prayers are that GOD will bless her and give you the strength needed to go thru the these upcoming stressful months. I will always think of her sitting on her front porch waving to me as I drove by as she did every time she was out; and of course with her ever-smiling face!! What a Sweetheart she was Richie! GOD Bless you always.
Your former friends & neighbors,

To Richard and the family:
So sorry. I have so many memories and they go back to one special memory when I was young and she took me to New York with her on the Lehigh Valley Railroad's passenger train to see the Labyaks ... a long time ago. Praying God will soothe you with glad memories. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.
