Chris and Family, so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

To the entire Bracale family.. Your mom was one of a kind. She always spoke her mind and growing up next door to you all in Beachwood brings back such fond memories of everyone. I knew if I messed up(which I often did) not only would I get yelled at from my mom, but yours as well. My mom will really miss her too, as she always looked forward to seeing her when she came to visit from Florida. My deepest sympathies to the entire Bracale family. I hope you find peace and comfort in your many memories.
