Tom & Connie, I am very sorry about your Mother. You both took excellent care of her and loved her so much. I know she was the best Mother in the world because every time I heard you mention her name, you had a smile in your heart, even when you told us the story about saying a curse word in front of her, you made us laugh. If there is anything that I can do for either of you, please let me know. In God''s Love

Tom,
You probably don''t remember me since you were sooo young the last time we met.
I was so sorry to hear of your Mother''s passing. I know it must be very difficult especially at this time of year. I remember Thelma from all the many gratherings at Grandma''s house and the good times that were had by all.
Just remember she is in a much better place than all of us.
Our heart felt sympathy,
Bud & Jean Reott

Hi Tom - Plese accept my sincere sympathy on the death of your
mom especially at this time of year. Thelma and Mary and all of us
were kids together and many times we went to vist at Benedict St.
The last time I saw Thelma was when she came to Florida to visit her
son-in-law Bob. I will remember her always smiling and constantly
busy with her cross stitch which she was so proud of and rightly so.
Sincerely, Margaret
