Diane, Kevin and I are so sorry for this sudden loss of your mom. She was a very extraordinary lady & I enjoyed the few times that I was fortunate enough to be in her company. Our dinner at Italia Corner along with, your brother and my mom & the time at Boordy vineyards with both of our loved ones were very special. Her beauty and love will never be extinguished. May you and your family soon heal with fond memories that keep her alive in your hearts forever. <3 Karen Slack

I am so glad I finally got to meet Nana on my birthday in the company of her family. I know that all her family, especially Rachel will miss her. But I also know that everyone has many good memories of her and this with time will help heal the hurt in your hearts. Take care and much love, Patti. Marie and Jamie too.
