I am so sadden by your loss. I have wonderful memories of our mothers and their friendship and ours. Your mom was such a funny little italian lady and we had such good times in her home.

Much love, Celeste

As we got older, even though we didn’t see each other too often, we always picked up right as we left off as though no time was missing in between. We never lied to each other and were able to...

I have wonderful memories of my friend Jo, we were friends from grade school and all of our lives. We kept in touch by phone thru the years and talked for hours. Im really going to miss those calls. There are so many wonderful memories I will treasure forever. She was a lifelong friend and I will miss her terribly. My condolences to her family and friends. I remember roller skating at the rink, Walking to Coney Island, the beach, the broadwalk, the guys, dancing, I remember going to Coney...
