My family and I were sorry to hear of the passing of your mom. We spent many happy times on Burnside street as neighbors and friends growing up. Your mom was welcoming to everyone who came by. The basement, the 3rd floor play area, or the back yard were always the staging area for lots of fun. Also my mom and Gerry were good friends for many many years, bowling with Mary Rotanti, Margie Butts, and other friends. Also she taught me CCD in the 5th grade. "What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others remains, and is immortal" You mom did many things for many others, and the world will miss her. David Collings
