We just found out, I am so sorry for her death but happy that she is with all of our family as well as the main man, Jesus. Every time we went to see Uncle Tommy, she would be there as well. Always loved the way the great family members of Johnstown talked. The best of all accents. May the Good Lord be with you all.
