Dear Donna,
I am so sorry to hear that your mother passed.  I sure remember your parents well and had run into them over the years particularly at Valleybrook.  I would love to get in touch but see that you moved to Florida.  Please email when you have a chance.  (Tjfinger712@gmail.com).

Dear Donna, My dear best lifetime friend. I am so sorry about your Mother. Where do I start. I have so many special memories. Your whole family played an important part in my life growing up. Our Mother’s getting together. I know they played cards with a group of women. I can’t remember all their names. Just the everyday things we all did. Your Mother had a good long life, and I know she is at peace. May God bless you and your family at this time. And, know that you will be in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Anne and Ted

Dear Mr. Roland, I have so many fond memories of Mrs. Roland. Coming over to your house when you lived on Edgemoor Ct. Our Mothers getting together to take us to the movies. Childhood birthday parties. Rocky Springs. Going to the pool, Brookside. Going in town and seeing Mrs. Roland when she worked in some of the downtown stores. I’ll never forget her. She played an important part in my life. She was a wonderful Wife and Mother. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. May God bless you, and give you peace.    Fondly, and with sincere sympathy, Anne [Eberle] Spadea
