My fondest memories were of our Saturday rituals of clean the house and then go to town and
grab lunch at the Woolworth luncheonette then browse the downtown stores. It was time that just the two of us spent together- just us girls.
She made sure each of us knew we were loved beyond measure and that no matter what life may bring we would get through it and be a better person because she encouraged us to be better.
She was very proud of both Al and Joe as they grew into strong men that would always be there for each other.
Mom and I had our own special moments as we shared a birthday and those memories will not be forgotten.
Mom, I know you are at peace and with your family now. We love and miss you!
Love always, Debi.
