Tony, Tara, Melissa & Justin,
I´m so sorry for your loss. Your mom was such a great person. She kept in touch with me through fb and always had kind things to say about all of you. She had comforting words when my mom passed and was there for all my labs during my pregnancy with Joseph. She cared about everyone. You are all in my thoughts.
