She was a very wonderful, warm and caring woman, I was very lucky to have known her, she was my uncle Johns sister and luckily the best school nurse of all times. Thank you for all that you have done for me in my younger years.
So sorry for your loss! I worked with her for 7 years! Peggy Deutsch

Prayers for your family at this difficult time.
I am so sorry to learn of your moms passing. I shared a fun cruse on the QE2 many years ago with your mom and her friend. We sat at the same table for dinner each night and had a great time. Again I am so very sorry for your great loss.
My deepest sympathies to your family for the loss of your beautiful sister, mother, aunt, grandmother and great grandmother who enriched the lives of others so much.
