To the Collier girls, sorry for the loss of your mother. I know you will miss her but she is not suffering and is at peace. When I was younger she was not only my Aunt but my best girlfriend. She was so easy to talk to. She would help everyone and gave what ever she could. We used to have so much fun. So glad to have her at the Bruno reunion. Florence (Bruno) Richardson, New Castle

Carol ,Kathy, Sue and Mary,
I am so sorry about your mothers passing.You are in my thoughts and prayers.
