To the Family of Greta: Sorry to hear of the passing of Greta. I worked with her and Lucille years ago at the hospital. Being very young when I worked with them and now having experienced life over the years I have to say she was one of the most honest, straight forward ladies I ever worked with and I am glad I had the pleasure of knowing. May she rest in peace and my sympathy to all of you. Martha Simich
Dear Barb and Family, Our sincerest sympathies on the death of your Mom. I can still see her sweeping her sidewalk. She was truly a wonderful person, but take comfort in that she is with her beloved “Skip”. God Bless you all. Helen and Tony Carpini (old neighbors).
You are in our thoughts and prayers. Denise and Bob
