To Ellen and the rest of your family;
It was my pleasure to have met you and your Mom when she moved into the Levi Gould building that I live in.....I know that she loved coming to the parties that I and my late friend Kathleen Tobin put on here when she was up to it!
Your Mom was one of the nicest ladies that I have known in my lifetime, she was so sweet and lovable.....I know that you and your brother were always here for her, and that makes you great children....
I used to enjoy seeing all of you, even when you moved your Mom to the Nursing Home, when you would come back here to do the Rosary on Thursday nights and bring her when she was feeling up to it!
May She Rest in Peace with the Angels, and May her Memory be of a Blessing to all of you!
Depending on how I am feeling, I will try to make the wake on Tuesday!
G-d Bless,
Annette...Levi Gould #202
