With Sympathy
Sorry for your loss
Luisa, Claudio and family, on behalf of Liliana Gobbo I send my sincerest condolences. Your mom was very dear to me and I will miss her.
My warmest thoughts as you go through this time of loss. I have fond memories of your Mom, Mrs Borean, growing up. Her beautiful gardens, her blue velvet couch in the front room and most of all the coffee from a bowl that you had in the morning sometimes. Strange, the things that stick out in our memories. Your Mom, a few years younger than mine, would ask about her if she hadn’t seen Margaret in a while…I always appreciated that. Please accept our warmest thoughts and condolences. The neighbourhood will miss her.
The Brunt Family
