Dear Ron and Don;
I was saddened to hear about the passing of your mother Teresa. I have many memories of Teresa, Andy and both of you. I remember well the family of my first two childhood best friends. I also remember Teresa through my teenage years as our bus driver. One of my fondest childhood memories was when your mother would send the three of us to pick whatever fruit was in season. Then she would bake wonderful pies, including small individual pies for each of us. I remember her well as a loving person and a great cook. God’s blessings to you and your families.
Your Friend Always, Nick Sbrockey.
Dear Ron,Don and Family, I am so sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. She was a fine lady who was loved and respected by many. Jerry
Dearest Donny, Robin and Olivia and entire Tranovich family:
It was a privilege and an honor to know this GRAND OLE’ DAME and I am grateful that our son was lucky enough to have her as his bus driver. I admired her personality and her grit and her sense of “right”. She looked beautiful today and I will so miss her sitting under the shade of her porch whenever I drove by the house. She is peaceful and back in the arms of our Creator. Always remember and know that she was loved by so many and will be sorely and surely missed.
My condolences on the loss of Theresa. She was a blessing to your family and ours.
So sorry Don, to hear of your loss. Our prayers of comfort go out to you and your family.
she was a good grandma
