Dear Walt and family, Sending you my deepest sympathy on the passing of your dear Mom. I've heard much about her, especially from Steve and later you when we became acquainted at Redner's. When I viewed the wonderful photo gallery, I had a big surprise when I recognized your mom from Davisville Shopping Center. I REMEMBER her, but never knew her name. Know you and your family did everything you could to make your mom's last years as pleasant as possible. You're in my thoughts and prayers. Sincerely, Sue DeCrescente (Warrington, PA)
