Doreen - Your sister was such a beautiful person. I remember when she used to come and visit her teachers after she had graduated high school. We would file into class and she would be sitting there talking to the teacher about old times and then the teacher would introduce her to us. She visited a good many times. She was an inspiration, dressed so professionally and what a smile! I also remember when she sold Home Interior and did so well. What a lovely and outgoing girl! Our most sincere condolences, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Anna Jean & Tony Parisano
