    Best wishes to you Kathy, Tony & Cindy — your Mother was a very kind, thoughtful person who loved life and was so proud of her wonderful children, grandchildren & great-grandchildren. Even in recent years in her weakened condition, she always shared a smile and her caring. Love & thoughts to all of you.
