Dear Rebecca and Family,
I was so saddened to hear of your beautiful mother's sudden passing. With a smile on my face, I remember the day I met your mother and Leo. It was at your boys' Eagle Scout Ceremony in Doylestown. You were so very fortunate to have young, active parents that were able to share such special times. May all these wonderful memories sustain you...Barb Franchella
