Dear Family,
We are extremely sorry to learn about the passing of your Mother. We are currently in Atlanta visiting our daughter and will be unable to make a personal visit. I read the obituary on line.
As a young boy Jerry growing up in the same neighborhood, I have very fond memories of your mother. I’ll bet you didn’t know she helped me get my driver’s license at age 16; training me on what I remember was a big Pontiac. I am sure she also helped with the go-cart running up and down the alley.
We are very sorry for your loss.
Jerry and Karen Narcisi
I am so sorry for the loss of “Mrs. B.” I will never forget her humor – or her pierogies!
I’m so sorry to hear of your mother’s passing, I know how much you loved her, she was a wonderful lady – I watched the video of pictures and it was beautiful. My thoughts are with your family.

Sorry to hear about your loss. Mom was always there for us and we enjoyed our relationship with your family. We remember the last time we saw her, up on the hill in Wheeling. A beautiful person, a great friend, and a super neighbour.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
