Lou,

I am so sorry about the passing of your mother. My mom always spoke so highly of her and she enjoyed working with your mom at the polls. My condolences and prayers are with your family. Brenda G.

Sorry to hear of Mrs. Conte's passing. I remember her at Sacraed Heart Ball field, going for ice cream at Stan's, and her and my mother always shopping at Zayer's or Steiger's . She was a beautiful lady to our family. Love Pat Gould

Just the thought of “Mrs. Conte” still brings a smile to my face.

Lou and Family
So sorry for your loss
