Rita and Family– sorry for your pain and loss. I know how special your mother was and that she was greatly loved and respected. Thinking of you in this time of sorrow. Hope that good memories and past special occasions comfort you in this difficult time.
With my sincerest condolences, Ron LaPensee
We send our deepest sympathy to all your family. It was an honor to have met Mrs. Battles many years ago in Locust Valley as she was visiting the Colella family and we lived next door.
How blessed you were to have such a lady heading your family!
Sincerely,
