Carol, Susan and Nancy, we are saddened by the loss of your mother. It has been many years since we have seen your family and just recently talked about your family. Your dad and Nonno Adolph made a ceramic statue of Jesus, Mary and Joseph for my parent's house in the early 1950s, which I still treasure. Also, your mother was my nurse at St. John's many years ago. God bless you for all you did for your mother. Our prayers are with you and your family.
