June 27, 2018 at 12:54 pmDear Betsy and family,
Your Mom was a beautiful woman. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you.
I see our Mom’s traveled a similar road, just a few years apart, both graduates of Blessed Sacrament Academy (Yonkers) and Katharine Gibbs School (NYC). I hope your memories give you solace, because I am sure she was a wonderful Mother.
Heartfelt Condolences, Maureen

June 29, 2018 at 2:45 pmI am so sorry for your loss> Joyce was a wonderful friend and neighbor when we first moved to Bronxville 37 years ago. We lived across the street on Langdon Terrace in the early 80’s and I have such wonderful memories of both of your parents. Thoughts and prayers to her family.

July 1, 2018 at 8:58 pmWhat a beautiful Lady. I did not know her personally, but I would like to extend my heartfelt condolences to the family. May you draw on the comfort that only God can give through his wonderful promises. Revelation 21:4 says “He will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” I long for the fulfillment of this prophecy.
