Dear Bobby and Char and Donny and Linda and Family:
Please accept my deepest sympathy on the passing of your mother. I vividly recall her from my days as a youngster on North State St. Donny, I recall on more than one occasion, that she would drive us from your home on Locke St. to trumpet/band lessons hosted by Joe McWilliams. What a wonderful lady! She was blessed with many years and a loving family.
Sincerely,

September 19, 2011

Isabelle, I will miss your smile and our good natured banter. You truly were a great lady. My thoughts are with your family.
