I am very sorry for the loss of your Mom. Your parents were part of my childhood as were you all. Such fond memories I have. Growing up on liberty street was growing up with family all around. We all looked out for one another. I am sorry that I was unable to attend the viewing. Work had me most of the night. God bless you all.

Chrissy, Dawn, Cheryl, Diana, Robin and the rest of the Morgan/LaBadie Family, A co-worker of ours once told Maureen that grief is a result of a deep and heartfelt love. This has helped us tremendously lately, she wishes that she knew the saying 10 years ago. We are very sorry for your loss and hope in time your hearts heal.
