Sharon, Leo and family. We are very sorry for the loss of your wonderful Mom, Grandmother and Great Grandmother. She was a great lady to talk with, I enjoyed our phone conversations. She was always a centre of your family, as you can tell by the pictures in your office Sharon. Her grandchildren and great grandchildren meant the world to her and I&&single&&m sure they will miss her greatly. Remember all the Angel figurines you keep in the office, well now you have a real one!
God Bless you all at this time!
