Dear David, Michael, Steven and family,
I was very saddened to hear of the loss of your Mom. I had come across some pictures recently of your Mom and my Mom,Ronnie Schwam, recently and I thought what a s witty, intelligent and warm woman your Mom was. She always had something interesting to say but what always struck me was the warmth and sense of humor that she shared with everyone. She was always happy to see you and to hear all about what was new. I hope that you are all well and that your loving memories will comfort you in the years ahead. My thoughts are with all of you at this difficult time.
Love,
Sally Serio (Schwam)
