We have such fond memories thanks to Aunt Jo growing up spending many days and vacations together. Uncle Rob has been at her side 60 years caring for her. I want to express what a wonder daughter both Jo and Rob have. Everyone knows and admires Tish for she is truly the backbone to the family overseeing her mothers final years and being with her every step of the way making them the best they could possibly be.
With Our Deepest Sympathy.
Robert & Gail Benedetto &
Aunt Lorraine.
