Dear Tomba Family,
So sorry to read about your Mothers passing. I was her (and your Dad's) neighbor in Blendon Reserves Condos. They helped me when I locked myself out of my condo. Loved talking to her about the early Cleveland years. Very sweet and kind person. Thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Sincerely,
Mary T. Molino

My mother lived next door to Jeanette at the Village at Westerville. She, and the entire community there, thought the world of her. My thoughts are with you at this sad time.
