My deepest condolences Brother. Many of my best memories hanging at your house with your Mom and Sister. See you soon!
My Deepest Condolences to you and your family cousin Roland .You probably don’t remember me as we only knew each other in our childhood. But I just wanted to let you know that your mom my aunt Mary was very cheerful and made all events a delight to be part of the family! RIP AMEN 🙏 ❤️
I loved your mom, we talked about family and things going on all the time. We used to dance together at a lot of family functions and weddings. I remember when she was leaving to go to Florida, it was a sad moment for us. Lucky I was working at Almac”s so I was able to see her all the time. She had a wonderful laugh and she’s always been in my thoughts and prayers where my memory of her will remain beautiful forever
