As well as you, Lisa, and everyones various levels and needs. Drive buy the old villa often on Petersburg Rd. with many fond memories of the times. Miss you all!! Thoughts are with you.

Dear Cousins,
So many of my childhood reminiscences contain memories of Aunt Gina, Uncle Bill, Tommy (your reenactments of famous battles with buttons), Mary Anne (thank you for the hand me downs), Billy ( my school buddy and friend), and of course, Little Tony ( so very cute). So many wonderful picnics and visits to your home.
Since Billy and I were in the same grade, my memories of Aunt Gina are plentiful. Especially when Billy and I performed our famous (or should I say infamous) pas de deux in the second grade!!! Aunt Gina was there through it all.
Thank you dear Aunt Gina for the cherished memories, and for being such a sweet aunt.
Love to you all.
Cousin Terrie
Anna Porter and myself (Donna Stoltzfus-Fisher) would like to let you know that you are in our prayers and thoughts at this time. Your mother was a great lady and we know that she will be missed.
