Although I only met Mrs. DeSalvo once, I always felt a love for her because of her advice and concern when I was going through a trying time. I'm so thankful that she raised our wonderful friend, Angel, whose friendship we treasure. My husband, Allen, and I are praying for the comfort of the Holy Spirit for Mrs. DeSalvo's family.

Such a great loss to the many lives she has touched. My deepest condolences to you her family. I will never forget the kindness she showed me, as a young person, on my own in a big city. My world will never be the same knowing that sweet woman is no longer here. Rest in peace Mrs Althea. Your smile and warm heart will be missed.
