"Mom",

You often told me the story that just before Luigi passed away on Mother's Day in 1970, he thanked you for the greatest gift you had given him, his son Louis. Nine years later, Louie and I met and he became the greatest gift in my life as well.

Thank you and Happy Mother's Day.

Love,

Your Daughter-in-Law,
Mary

Dear Lou and Mary,

I will always remember Chris for her warmth and charity and
for all she shared with me through the years.

She even helped move my things from Hellertown, St. Theresa's to St. John's in Palmerton, Pa.

We always enjoyed the cookouts at your place or her's!

We also enjoyed walks at Monocacy or places she liked to go
around Northampton.
I will remember her in my prayers and at Masses.

My love and prayers,

Sister Anne

To Chris's family:
I always admired your mom for her energy and joy of life and her ability to stay so active in doing all the activities she enjoyed. I mean, how many people would continue to go to school and learn new things at the age she did. She was very compassionate to Phil and I during his illness, for which we have always been grateful. She will be greatly missed.
Sincerely, Phil and Pat Thompson

Mom,

Thanks for the lovely childhood that you and my father gave to me. I will remember you in my heart forever. I know that you are with all your loved ones that have gone before you. Be at peace.

Your loving Son

Louis
