Charlie,
We just heard about your Mom. She lived such a full life of love and she sounded like such a great woman. We are so sorry for your loss. Our love and hearts go out to you and your family. Peace.
Our deepest sympathies to the Hickey family. The LaMonicas have many fond memories of Jeanette and Red. They were wonderful godparents to me.
