Jeff and family
I attended school with you as a child at St. Rosalia and remember your mom as a very kind lady.
Your friends always felt welcome at your home. My brothers went to school with your brother Tom and also thought highly of your mother.
I recently lost my father and can relate to your pain.
I hope your doing well and I send you all my prayers at this time.

To the Modra family,
I went all through St. Rosalia's for 12 years with Marilyn and I had great affection for her. Charlotte Onorato (I believe from Homewood) was her best friend in high school). My nephew Paul Miller went through Central with her son, another boy from Greenfield. We will miss her at our 50th reunion this September.
