Marcella always called me her "Sonny Boy". I will always remember her, and miss her. Love, Tony Frey (Elmcroft)

To the family of Jean Nerdeman my deepest condolences may you have peace in knowing that She is home with Henry. As a classmate of Carol and a neighbor on Elizabeth St.I often saw Jean and Henry walking to Church, She always had a kind word and a smile when we would meet. John Mangas
