Dear Mary Jane & All Family Members:
So very sorry to hear about the passing of Pat, a long time friend dating back to the 1950's. I have so many good and fun memories of our "teenage years" spending time at her mother's house.
I'm sure you all have many good and happy memories of your life together.
Treasure all those memories and keep her spirit alive and leave the rest up to "God" to guide and comfort you during this difficult time.
Remember:
When the One You Love
Becomes a Memory -
That Memory -
Becomes a Treasure.

My Sincerest Sympathy,

Rita (Ruggieri) Palombo

To Dennis, Debbie, and Stephen: I am sorry to hear about the loss of your Mom. I'll always remember the fun we had on Armington Ave-you kids were the first to come over the house when we moved in and said 'wanna be friends'. Your Mom was a great person and I know the pain you are feeling as I lost my Mom almost two years ago.
Godspeed
