So sorry for your loss. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
With Deepest Sympathy,
Dean, Mary, & Ryan Hanes
I am very sorry for your loss. I spent a lot of time at your house when a kid and your mother was always so sweet and kind. She had given me her recipe for chocolate Italian cookies way back when and to this day they are a huge favorite among my family. Anytime those cookies are made and passed around I always think of your mother.
Her children were certainly blessed to have such a wonderful mother. God Bless You All.
Sincerely,
Susie (Tornatore) Strandberg
To the Florio Family:
I want to pass on my sympathies on the loss of your dear Mother. I remember your Mom as a very sweet lady but I didn’t see her that many times mostly at Halloween when we were looking for treats. I know how it feels to lose that sweet woman who gave you life, and all her love. Again my condolences to the whole family.
Tony, Dan, and Family – I am sorry for the loss of your grandmother.
Florio Family,
Wanted to extend our condolences during this difficult time, especially with the Holidays upon us. Never easy to lose a mom at any age. Know she is a whisper away, and keep the memories of her close to your hearts!
