Dear Joe and Family, It's been many many years since I last saw the both of you. I have many fond memories of you and Bonnie at the All Souls Young Adult Club with Fr. McMahon. Bonnie was always a gentle and sweet soul. I am so sorry for your loss. May God's peace be with you during these difficult times.

My condolences to the Deluca Family.She was a real nice person. I used to chat with her briefly in front of her house on Commercial Ave. many years ago. I remember her as Pat's sister.

My dear friend Bonnie whom I will sorely miss. I have so many
wonderful memories of our times together. Bonnie was such a beautiful person inside and out. Even in her last days she was more concerned about others rather than herself. She fought to the end with such dignity. She was a true Christian in the way she led her life. She may be gone from this earth but her spirit lives on.
Rest in Peace my friend. Love You, Jeannette Bertoldi and family.
