You don´t know me but I am a cousin though my "Aunt" Sadie. She was actually my grandmother´s niece. My grandmother was her Aunt Bernie (Bernadine Glynn Gaulene). I had only met Trisha and no others. I used to go to Aunt Sadie´s work all of the time to see her. I also visited she and Myra on, I think, Palmyra?? I want to know that I pray for your peace and comfort in these sad days. PS: Harriet looks like my Aunt Sadie so sweet to remember her after all of these years. Michele LeBourgeos

So sorry to hear of the loss of your mother, Maw Maw Harriet. She watched my first born 30 years ago and had been around the Modica family long before that.
