My sincere sympathy to the family. You may not remember me but I worked with your Mom at Hills Department Store many years ago. Your Mom was a very nice lady who I had a lot of laughs with. My prayers are with all of you.

May she Rest In Peace alongside your Dad and brother, David. Respectfully, Kim Ciccarelli and The Baker Family of Washington Township
