My deepest sympathies to your family at this time.
I'm one of Sentile's daughters.
I remember going, with my dad, to visit his mother and family in Rochester, and while there we would buy peaches to bring home.
Dad was so proud of his family and the area he grew up in.
May Family, Friends, Love and Prayers heal the wounds of sorrow you are feeling now.

Dear Dorothy and Jimmy and families -
My heart is with you at this saddest of times.
We have so many memories of visits to NY and sharing time with your mom....her garden and her on-going garage sale - how she'd dicker sometimes....her afghans...her apple pie (i would call to say i was coming, she would say she'd bake the apple pie and that i should bring the ice cream)....her dry sense of humor... And i secretly cringed, but smiled, when she tactfully would make mention of how well-fed we are in Maine - she was my elder and i deserved it! She teased about how her 1979 Impala was a year newer than mine and that she had fewer miles on it. She loved that you both called her so often - she proudly told me that you called every day...she felt love from you both and shared with others how blessed she felt as a mother and grandparent...all the pictures she would show us. And how she grumbled about not wanting to give up driving but she knew you were right, Jimmy, when you insisted...after that 'little scratch' when driving to church that Sunday..... That cheery hello when she recognized my voice when i'd call to see how she was doing always made my heart smile. And at the end of the conversation, she'd always say, "Call me again sometime". I will miss her so much.
love,
Jo Anne
