Frank, Ann-Marie, Wayne and families, our deepest sympathies on the passing of a wonderful woman. I worked with your mom for many years, she was a hard worker and a great co-worker. Always a friendly hello and when I would ask how she was doing, she always replied I am doing okay, she always had a smile. May she rest in peace and watch over each and everyone of you. Hugs to all of you.
