I know no other way to communicate with the Nostro family. I am so sorry to her of your loss, but I'm writing about Carol. I was a friend of hers in the Marine Corps. I happened upon the announcement of your mothers passing and wanted to contact you. If I have the wrong family please excuse me, but If I have the right family could someone getback to me and let me know about Carol. Again my sincere sympathy goes out to you and yours.

In loving memory of Aunt Jo, I'm sure she will be playing cards in Heaven with the rest of the Friday night players, she will probably walk around her chair for good luck even up there. Miss you.

Tho I seldom got to see Aunt Jo during my "always in Buffalo" years, mainly due to her working hours, the time with her was very special. I always admired her and especially loved her keen sense of humor. My deepest sympathy to the family and pray they can take comfort in knowing she is now free of care, with Carol, and the "huge welcoming committee" as MaryAnn puts it..... has never left them, but now watching over all from above. Love, Marilyn

We are going to miss Aunt Jo very much. So grateful that we got to spend time with her when she visited Buffalo every year. She was the last of the aunts/uncles. She had a grand welcoming committee when she reached Heaven. Her legacy is the children, grandkids AND great-grandchildren she left behind.

In loving memory of our dear aunt, we will miss you so very much. You are another angel looking over our family. We love you, rest in peace.
