She always reflected on her days growing up and playing and what a happy childhood she had. Her daughter Christine was her life. She writes, “I sit here in my messy room, something my mother would not have likes and bugged me to clean up. I think “How is it that my mom is gone forever” but then again I think of how wonderful she was to everyone. The compassion she showed for everyone. No matter what you were going through she would be there to listen. Mom I miss you to the moon and back and proud to say how fortunate enough I was to have you for the past 19 years and they can never be erased” Relatives and friends are invited to call Wednesday 9:30 A.M. followed by Funeral Mass 11 A.M. at Saint Genevieve Church, 1225 Bethlehem Pike, Flourtown.
