Glenn, I am sorry to hear about your loss. I had fond memories of your mom when I met her in Bethlehem. I remember they came up to Syracuse for a football game. It's been a long time, and my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Donna and Glen, I had just seen your mom a few weeks ago at the Orthopedic Dr . I had not seen her since she moved. She gave me a big hug and told me she missed. She looked good. I had no idea she had passed away until I looked on line at the obits. My heart is broken. She was so kind to me and I loved going over to her house. My deepest sympathy to your family.

Donna and Glenn
I was saddened by the news of your Mom's passing. Both your Mom and Dad led their lives in such a selfless and caring manner which should be an example to us all. When I read the e-mail from my Dad it brought back memories of childhood 'sleep-overs' with my favorite cousin and the many family vacations in the Pocono mountains. Life was so simple in those days and a tear came to my eye. Cherish the memories of your mother...mothers are so special! God Bless.
