Sue, George and all of the family,
I did not know Sue’s mom well, and have not seen her since your wedding, I believe, and what I do remember is her warm smile and kindness. Blessing to all of you, you were blessed to have such a great Mom and Grandma.
Sorry for your loss, Pat.
May your Mom rest in peace.
Prayers.
My deepest sympathy to the Sonin family. Dear neighbors for 40 years. I have such fond memories of your dear mom. Sending friendship and strength your way in the coming days and through the following weeks, months and years.
Sincerely,
Eileen LePoire

Pam I am so sorry for your families loss
Our condolences and prayers for the Sonin family. Your mom was a great neighbor and friend for 20 years when we lived on Walnut Street. We have many wonderful memories of those years. She is now home with our Lord, but will be greatly missed in Itasca.
