Joe, Jennifer, Michael and Joe Jr. Although I only knew your Mom over the last five years as my beautiful beautician, I felt I knew her and your families for ever. She talked of you all most of the time and how she loved those grand boys. One great thing you all loved her back. One of you said she was a “keeper” after she cut your hair and that so warmed her heart. When I lost my husband, Art last year she was so great to talk to. She always said no person should suffer and she meant just that. Her love was strong and so were her convictions. Jennifer, she just loved you so much too. She called herself the mother to you since yours was gone to heaven. She really loved family, hers, and her co workers at the shop, she just loved all people but not our president. She will rest in peace, I am sure. She will be your guardian angels as I am sure of that too. One of our last visits she gave me your address as my daughter just bought a home on Newbury, close enough to her residence and wanted me to come a visit. I send my peace to all of you and my prayers too. Joe, Sr., I know what you are going through–it is terrible to lose a spouse when you loved each other so dearly. Ask God for strength during this sad time. My love to you all, Suzy
