Very sorry to hear of your mother's passing. My father, John LaCamera, drove her to appointments. He misses her very much and they became such good friends. My condolences to you and your family! Kari

Hello Catherine. I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. She was such a sweet woman and I always enjoyed our conversations. She spoke of you often and was very proud of you. Jane was a fun member of our DAR chapter in Salem. She always brought a little humor to our meetings and I will miss her wonderful smile. My deepest sympathies to you and your family.
