Our deepest sympathy in the loss of your loved one.
Dear Bob and Mike and Pam:
Your whole family has our deepest condolences. Know that we reach out to you with deep sympathy but also know that “Aunt Carm” as Pam always referred to her is on a much better journey and her suffering is over. I can still see “Uncle Pete” smiling at her and saying “What took you so long!” We hope to see you tomorrow if the weather breaks. God bless you all for what you have lost but think of all the touching memories you have now.
Dear Mike: My wife and I are very sorry to hear of the loss of your Mother. We hope family and friends will provide comfort for you at this time, and we will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

Mike: I was very sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. I would not have know since I do not get a paper but I just heard about it from Dickie. I met her, several years ago, when we were working at Kenny Beckett’s house. She would visit us often, bringing us cold drinks and snacks. She was a very special lady who made a lasting impression on me.
My prayers and thoughts go out to all of you at this sad time. I had the priviledge of knowing Carmella…she always spoke so proudly of her sons and her family. God Bless!
The Lambros family formerly of Bellaire express sympathy.
