Dear Lesa, Scott, and families: My very deepest sympathy to all of you. Your parents were great neighbors while we lived in Schererville--so very friendly--we would congregate in your driveway, just visiting, enjoying everyone's company. I have fond memories, which I treasure.

Dear Scott & Robin, Lesa & Tom, Kyle & Vaughn - I am so very sorry for your loss. My prayers are with all of you. What a lovely Mom, Grandma & friend Marie was to all who knew her. I will cherish our wonderful visit we shared together in Seattle at Lesa's with Marie. It was so nice to see Marie again, with her quiet elegance, her kind smile & big sweet eyes when the three of us shared a stolen moment at Lesa's in Seattle 11/07.

Remember, all of her loving qualities & beauty will live on in each of you ... Much Love, Cindy Milazzo (St. John, IN)
