Lynn and family, we are so sorry to hear of your great loss. Your mom was a beautiful lady who made us all feel so very special every time we went to Conti's. We still miss going there, and the famous baked ziti that the football players loved so much! What a generous and loving legacy she left that blesses us all. You are in our prayers; may the Lord comfort you with His love and peace.
Much love from the Don family.
