I’m so sorry to hear about your loss of your mother. Such a fine family and I have so many fond memories of the Masterantonio girls over the years. I’ll keep her and you girls in my prayers.
Miss Antoinette and Rose,
I am so sorry to hear about your mom. I always remember her with a smile on her face everytime I came to visit you. She reminded me a lot of my grandma Nigro.
