We often sit and think of you,and think of how you died. To think you could not say goodbye before you closed your eyes. The blow was hard the shock, severe, we never thought your death so near. But only those who've lost can tell, the pain of parting without farewell.

Love, your daughter Sherry

Sorry to hear of your Mothers passing. I have many fond memories of her. She made you the best Halloween costumes! Her house was always the most modern decorated in the neighborhood and she was one of the best dressed and prettiest Mothers in the neighborhood. My sympathy to all the Caffo's and especially Linda and Ruth. Sun village lost another person who made it a great place to grow up in Mary Lou

Mom,no last farewells were spoken, we did not say goodbye you were gone before we knew, and God only knows why.They say there is no reason, they say that time will heal,But neither time nor reason, will change the way we feel,For no one knows the heartache, that lies behind our smiles,no one knows how many times we have broken down and cried.We hold you close within our hearts and there you shall remain to walk with us through out our lives until we meet again.Give Dad a kiss for me. I love and miss you both. love Denise xoxo

I am so sorry for your loss. I remember Doris from when she worked for Michael Anthony. Doris worked for a week in our home when we had soot damage from a faulty oil heater. Although the circumstances were unpleasant, we enjoyed getting to know Doris and her daughters when they came every day to clean. We never forgot them! May Doris rest in peace!
