Dear Greg (Heather) and Tammy My heartfelt condolences to you all during this tough time. Your mom was such a kind and thoughtful person, and I am sure you will remember her as I do—with great admiration and love. I will always think of her as a remarkable person who put her family first. Her generosity and the wonderful example she set as a role model for you all will remain in my thoughts. With deepest sympathy, Stephen and the Della Casa family

I haven’t seen Marg for over 55 years yet her picture reflects the same lovely woman with barely a change. My condolences to her family and friends. She and John are happily dancing together again.
