Great picture of your Mom, looking her best. I remember how important her appearnace was to her at all times. I don't have a "fondest" memory to post, but I am so glad I had the opportunity to have lunch with both of you when I came home for a visit in 2008 and then your Mom insisted we go to her mobile home so that I could see where she lived. Well, maybe I do have a fondest memory - after all these years I can still hear her laugh - it was always so distinctive!

Wanda....so sorry to hear about your mom. Both Maren & Joanne have periodically kept me informed of how your mom was doing healthwise. It's been ages since I have seen you or your mom. One of my fondest memories was a VERY long time ago when I was visiting my parents from California. We visited your mom & a dog she had just had puppies. My sister Terry at the time was real young & was bugging my parents to take one of the puppies home. Well, if you remember my dad (Leo Finneran) he was a tough guy & wanted nothing to do with puppies but Terry kept pushing & pushng until he broke down & said "Yes." That surely made Terry's day & the puppy came home with us. Terry got to Dad.....sweet!!!
Please know that my prayers are for you, your family, your brothers &
your mom......Kathy Finneran Tiano
