The Savage Family is very saddened by your loss. Know that your mother will be in our prayers and Masses. Your mom and your dad were always good friends to our parents. I know that I have photos of our parents together on both their wedding days. Let me know where I can send copies. My son Danny (now 34) was part of their "breakfast club" before he started school. Its the memories that will keep your mom and my mom alive in our minds.
