The Flaim family will be written into the Dart history books. Some of my earliest memories are of Mrs. Flaim giving me some "Capelletti juice", and playing "The Entertainer" on the piano in the living room. She was a second mother not only to many of the Dart kids but everyone else in St, Laurence's Parish and beyond. Scooter, Mary Jo, Gerry Ann, Claudette, Joe and Rosemary, I envy you all having had the wonderful parents that Sy and Gerry were. I thank the Lord that they were a part of our lives. They'll always remain in our minds and hearts.

My deepest sympathies for your family's loss. Aunt Geri (as I'll always remember her) was a wonderful person and will be deeply missed. It helps to think of the happy reunion her and Uncle Sy must be having at this moment.

HiFriends.

What a loss for your family, friends,church and home community. But wow, Heaven is happy! Simon and Gerry together again.

What a great model your mom was. And what great people you have all turned out to be because of her.

And how much greater, still, are we for knowing her and you all.

Much love, many prayers and hugs to you all.

Love you,

Peggy

Thank you Mrs. Flaim for all of the hours of enjoyment you gave us in your home. Also, thank you for picking me up after you had already taken the girls to school (because I was late-of course) You are the best!

love,
