Ann,Christine & Wilma. My deepest sympathy to you and your family. I lived on Ward St. for years and knew you and your mom & dad. I just returned to CT from Maryland and read of your loss. God Bless you and your family. Sincerely, Reverend Jane Sullivan D’Auria

Dearest Wilma, Christine, Ann and families, I thought of your Mother as a Sister rather than and in-law. She was a best friend in good and bad times. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. May her soul rest in peace.
Wilma, Chris and Ann, So sorry to hear about your mother. I will always have fond memories of her from Gateway. Not just anyone could make those skirts touch the floor. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Love Sally Barter
