Hi Rose,
Just in case you had not heard some more bad news. . . Diane's mother passed away yesterday. I spoke to Diane this morning and she's on her way to the funeral home to make arrangements. Vazza's in Revere, probably Friday evening for the wake and Saturday for the funeral. Such is life. Meri
Dear Meri,
Thank you so much for informing me of Josie's passing. I adored the woman! Such a classy lady .....always dressed to perfection and when she walked by you could always capture the scent of Shalimar perfume which she introduced me to years ago and I purchased my first bottle with my first paycheck as a young girl out in the corporate world. I still wear Shalimar because of Josie. Wow, so many memories of Diane's MOM. I feel so bad that I'm here in Florida and unable to attend the services for such a great lady and to be close by to my dear friend Diane (Screnci) Beatrice.
I hope that all of our classmates that live close by can attend the services to express your sympathy to the family in their bereavement. I'm so sadden by this news yet with frequent phone calls from Diane, I knew this day would arrive and Josie would no longer be with us. I was hoping to see Josie one more time with my next trip up north.
Oh such sad news to hear that Diane's mother, Josie passed away.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sad to hear this news even though I knew it was coming as Diane would call me every couple of weeks.
Most of us have experienced the loss of a parent and we know and understand the pain and the great loss.
Let's all give Diane and her sister Sheila the support they need during this difficult time.
Hugs,Rose
