Debbie, I am so sorry for the loss of your Mother. I have nothing but the best memories of her. Thinking back on all the years I lived across the street from you I realize she was always smiling! She always had nothing but good things to say. I loved spending time at your house because she always made me feel like a daughter. The funeral service was beautiful and she was so loved by everyone! 48th Street will never be the same again. God has called home another one of his special angels. May peace be with you and your family now and always.
