Kim and family-my thoughts and prayers are with you. I have fond memories of your Mom and the conversations we shared. She loved you so much!
for Kim and family,
Your mom always had a sweet smile and she spoke so proudly of you Kim. I am very sad for you and your family. May you feel God’s arms around you as you grieve.
Joanne was a wonderful lady. I knew her through the Grand Union and she always was happy and full of energy, she always included my children, Tony and Trina in our conversations and I loved going through her line. Over the years whenever I ran into her, it was if we had just spoken. She loved her children and grandsons desparately. She was a beautiful human being, sincere sympathy that you have lost her, until you meet again.
Dear Kim I was so sad to read of your Mom’s passing. Please know that you are in my thoughts during this very difficult time,
Kim;
Very sorry to hear of your mom’s passing.My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.Sorry I was not able to be at church for the mass.
Your old friend
