Uncle Tommy, Kevin & Family, Holly & Family...

You guys have always been a bright spot in my life going back to when we would hit the beach for the day at Sand Hill Cove.... Now with you having your own kids, it was great to have you come to the cousins party and reconnect more often then just July 4th. Auntie Ellie (bionic woman) always had a smile on her face and a new story about the grandkids. I will miss her greatly as she has a special place in my heart, as you all do.
Live, laugh, love .... I think Auntie Ellie created that saying as she truly lived it ....

Live always, Dina

That goes back a few summers, all of the weddings and birth's,and deaths. Her dad sitting on the front porch on Waterman Ave., Across the street from our gas station, just to name a few of the memories that our families shared, those were the days. Again heartfelt sympathy from me and my family Ray Skiera
