I was so sorry to hear that Aunt Teresa passed away.
I saw the obituary on the web today, a little late since
today is 2/15/10.
My mom was the link to family in CT for me up
until she passed away in 1992. Unfortunately none
of us were close enough to keep in touch.
I would like to have given my condolences in person
but unfortunately I did not hear. My condolences for
your loss.She was a wonderful woman.
Wishing you good health. Sincerely, Jane
