I am sorry to hear about your mother. She was a wonderful person. I remember the good times ( and good meals) at 1193 Hartford Tnpke. Please say hello to Carol and Tony for me.

Sorry to hear about your mothers passing. She was a nice person and I have many memories of her when we lived on Daniel Rd. She was a good friend to my mother, Alice.

So sorry for your loss. How well I remember the good times spent in her backyard on Daniel Road and later the many hours at the pool on Hartford Turnpike. Those remembered never die, they are forever in our hearts and memories.
