I was saddened to hear of Mrs. Cerretto's passing. She was always so nice to me when we were all growing up. I know her children loved her very much.

MaryJo and Kathy, I am sorry that God has chosen this time to call your mom home; but everything is done in his time. Your mom was very special and she and your dad reared two beautiful daughters.
May your belief in God and his love keep you and comfort you.
