    Sincere condolences for the loss of your beautiful mother – z she will forever be ingrained in my minds Eye as the quintessential Hilltopper, sitting on the grass area near the water,fountain big rock and director shack, holding down the fort or being the perfect Italian mom and making pasta and sauce up top on a charcoal grill, and a boiling a pot of water!Th memories I hold in my heart for her are very special and I hope that she is at peace and that you find comfort in the special memories that only you hold in your heart Christine and family.
