Dearest Joyce & Jerry; Joyce, i found this online and hope you don't mind my adding my sincerest sympathies for the passing of your dear Mother! She sounds like such a wonderful mother and friend! isn't it wonderful when God gives us such parents, not all have them. i never met your mom, but i am sure i would have loved her because i always loved you!i now understand your pain...we lost my Mom a short time ago, July 15, of this year. Mamma (Letizia Ingallina)lived with us for the past 5 years, and declined slowly. God was faithful to her for over 91 years and she was ready to meet her LORD. 9 of her 11 children were at her bedside during her last days, as well as 25 grandchildren and 15+ greatgrandchildren, and when she breathed her last. we all miss her terribly but we have the assurance that we will share Eternal Life with her and our Lord Jesus Christ! Please know you and your family are in our prayers, and my deepest love and blessings are and have been with you and dear Jerry and your son, Adam, who i am sure has a family of his own now. i love you my dear friend, and i thank God always for you being part of my life! i loved seeing the pictures of you and Jerry - i pray all is well with you both. please receive big hugs and kisses for you both. in the LORD's love, bernadette and russell bovee
