Viola, I am so sorry to see that your husband Allan passed away. I remember when you got married. You and I were good friends at Social Security. I still miss working at the Courtright Building with all the people. So many of those people have passed away. When you left I always missed you. I even remember when your mom died.
I am married now and living in Mountaintop. My mom died in 2000. Got married in 1992.
I found that I am the cousin of Pope John Paul II through my father.
Once again I am so sorry for your loss. Will say a rosary for Allan´s soul.
