Poppy,
It was always my favorite time of year whenever “Nan and Pop” were coming up from Fla. to stay with us up in Westchester. Endless walks around town and evenings filled with Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune and some sort of detective show, Murder She Wrote, Mattlock ect… I'll always remember you and gladly carry on your “Death Grip Hand Shake” I Love you Pop.

Dear Eddie, Frank, Ronnie & Helen.
My deepest sympathy on the death of your dear Dad. When I read his obituary (on the web) I was immediately transported back to Tolentine and could see him on University Avenue, in the Church,
and even patroling the aisles in
Woolworth's - always so dignified looking and friendly.
Be assured that he is remembered in my prayers, as are you and your families that God will give you strength and comfort during your time of great loss.

God bless -
Sr. Margie Mullen
