My dear,Cookie,I am so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing.I always enjoyed being in her company and cousin Carm's,they were always so much fun.She had a great attitude,if you liked her,fine and if you didn't like her,fine,also she didn't pull any punches,she told you just how it was.I admired her for that.I used to see her when I went to vote,at St.Daniels school.She recognized me right away the first time I saw her.I wish I had known she was at James Square,I would've gone to see her.I am sorry I couldn't make the wake,would've loved to have seen you and your family. Again my deepest sympathy to you and your brother Tom,and all your family. Mary(Pappalardo)Lee.
