Although John & I were not able to make the Mass for your Mom Carole, we have many fond memories of sharing a cup of coffee at your home on Clarence Ave in the 1970´s with both your Mom & Dad. Always lots of activity & plenty of laughs. So happy you were able to enjoy her life for so many years. All our best to you as you move through your loss Sharon & John McKerring
