Dear Fred – I am very sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Deb Christman
Dear Fred – I cannot express in words how heavy my heart is on Aunt Rita’s passing. Rita and I had so many wonderful talks. She was such a story teller and had so much interesting information on our family. I loved each and every time we were able to catch up and talk. I miss her tremendously. I am so happy that you and Rita were with Mark and me last year on June 30th in Milford on our special celebration day. My heart goes out to you. You were her pride and joy. I hope that your beautiful memories of your mother will get you through this difficult time and bring you a smile and peace. She is in a better place and back with your father and her brothers, sisters and parents. I know how greatly my father loved her as well. All my love – Kendall

Dear Fred, I am so sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. What comes to mind when I think of your mom, is her pleasant, soft spoken words and the Barbie Doll cake she made for my daughter’s birthday. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Mary Cavaliere DiLella
Dear Fred… not sure what happened with the last post.. We wish to express out deepest sympathies to you and also to Fred and Michael. So sorry to hear of the loss of Rita from this life.
I am so sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you in your time of sorrow. May you let God’s Word comfort you when it reads, .If an able-bodied man dies can he live again? You will call, and I myself shall answer you. For the work of your hands you will have a yearning.. (Job 14:14, 15). God will have a yearning to resurrect faithful ones.
