David
I am sorry for the loss of your mother. It is a very difficult time when you experience the loss of a loved one. Keep your memories of your mother in your mind, and she will always be alive in your heart! May she now Rest In Peace. Prayer sent to our Lord, in the name of Jesus, amen.

Your mother was very fond of the St. Jude Hospital for children, and a donation from the American Legion S.A.L. #326 was made to this hospital in her memory.

With my deepest sympathy

She was my beloved baby sister. She is now with Mama, Papa, Amalia and Italo. I know she is very happy to be with them while we here suffer the loss of her presence, She was not only beautiful but also generous, thoughtful, loving and a delight to be with. I have your voice on my answering machine and I will feel close to you when I listen to it. Know that I have always loved you and always will.
