Not sure what to say?

Dear Bobby, Gerry and Sandy,
I am so sorry for your loss. When we grew up in Hayfield, Yola and your Dad Tony were like a second New York family. I have fond memories of all of you and will keep them close.

Gerry, Yola and Jim were treasured friends. Yola was such a woman of strength the way she cared for and tended to her family, placing their needs always above hers. We will always remember our fiery Italian redhead and her good cooking, as well as the fun times we shared and our love for the Lord. Our deepest sympathy in the loss of such a matriarch.

Gerry,
We are so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. She seemed to be a beautiful spirit like you and we send you and your family our love and strength to go through this time of loss.

Love, Carol
