My sympathies on the loss of your mother. I worked with her about 40 years ago w/good old Mr.Delaney in the Diocese Insurance. I was the young "pup" & she took me under her wing, so sweet. I did visit several times with you Mom & Dad at their Bridgevile home all those years ago. Have many fond memories, she was a very kind & thoughtful women. She is now at peace with the angels, God bless.

Our family was very sorry to hear about the passing of Bob's mother and the great-grandmother of Amelia and Elise. We were fortunate to have met Irene on one occasion and it was clear from the first minute we met her that she was a special lady. I remember how much she loved Bob and spoke of how she appreciated all that he and Carolyn were doing for her. I also remember Irene laughing as she watched Amelia and Elise dive into the swimming pool that day.
Grief can be hard, but our memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one this holiday season.

I was so sorry to hear of Irene's passing. I worked with her over 40 years ago at the Diocese of Pittsburgh. We always kept in touch, especially over the holidays. She was such a sweet lady and will remain in my fond memories. She is now with her beloved Robert. Rest in peace, dear Irene.
