My condolences to the family. I was a classmate of hers at Sacred Heart Academy, class of 1962. We were commenting about missing Taffy's presence at our recent class reunion. We will all miss our popular classmate.

Tom,
We were very saddened to read of Taffy's passing. Unfortunately we are in Florida, until June, and will not be able to visit with you at this time.
She always added to any room she was in.
Thoughts and prayers to you and the boys.

"T" and family,
We will miss Taffy. We have all been long time friends. We have wonderful memories of Seminole Drive and "The Oval". She was a very caring and conscientious nurse and had a long nursing career. She has been my "phone call" buddy for years.
