Dear Judy, Joyce and family,

I'm certain you will find comfort in knowing that your mother lived a long and fruitful life. Among her many acts of kindness, I often find myself reflecting upon how she, along with your aunts, worked so hard to put our home back in order and to provide dinner for our family and friends after my brother Jim's funeral in 1958.

However, what I shall remember most was her Easter Bread. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

I know you will miss her. She was a lovely lady.

My sincerest condolences and warmest regards,
Jack De Crescente
