To my wonderful, Irish Mom:
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always on your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon the fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
Mom, I love you and I'll see you again down the road.

My prayers to the Richter family. I have been away from Crafton over 40 years, but I remember Aunt Tootie. She was my Godmother. what a wonderful legacy she left with all her children, grand and great grandchildren. Deepest sympathy,

Dear Richter Family
I was so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. I have a lot of memories of the house on Thomas St. When I was young, I spent a lot of time there. My mother told me that I dumped Nancy's fish down the toilet. More touching, was talking to Billy while he was on the porch in the sunshine. Uncle Joe built a frame for him so he could be upright.
Years ago, I was on Thomas Street and I visited with Aunt Tootie; it's a nice memory.

The Richter Family,
Sad to hear of your mom's passing. I remember Aunt Tootie and the Richters, years ago, living on Thomas Street in Crafton. Uncle Joe Richter, my Mom's brother, frequently visited our family the Quinlans while we were growing up on Cross Street in Crafton. I also recall Billy Richter, who was about my age, who passed away at a very young age.
On a lighter note, music seemed to run through the Richter family, a creative gift. I look back with fond memories.
God bless Aunt Tootie. Wishing all the Richters well.
