David, so sorry to hear of the loss of your Mother. Condolences to you and your family.
Joe, I just saw the passing of your mother. Mom and Dad both were at Montgomery-Steward as well. Rose was only 42 when we moved in the house behind you. Hard to believe, but we were only 15 ourselves. I can hear her voice. Montgomery-Steward was where I got my start in the funeral business as well.
I was saddened to hear of Auntie Rosie’s passing. She was a wonderful lady and my favorite ‘Auntie.’ I have nothing but fond wonderful memories from my youth at her house where I was a frequent visitor. Our families were very close and Mom (Aleen) and Rosie remained close after the passing of their husbands – ‘Elines’ & ‘Bully.’ She was always so kind, soft-spoken and nurturing. And, still to this day I think about her Friday Tuna Casseroles. She gets ‘Special Points’ in Heaven for putting up with all the Zupancics’.
David, so very sorry for your loss. Your mother was a lovely woman and I still cherish the tablecloths and napkins she stitched for me. I hope knowing she is in a better place resting and no longer in pain provides comfort for you. Sending you caring thoughts – I will be holding you and your family in my prayers
