When someone passes from a family, it makes you think about where you come from and who you are. My cousins out west some of you could walk by me and we wouldn't even know each other. I think there is one thing we can all agree on there were some special people who lived at 173 Armstrong Ave Jersey City. With my moms struggles I can't be away at this time but on her behalf out thoughts and prayers from all of us. It says something about the character of a person to pick up and move his family because it was the right thing to do more of that 173. Uncle Michael may you rest in peace
Happy Birthday!
Goodbye Daddy. Finally, some alone time for you after doing a wonderful job of raising a house full
of kids. You've created so many families that will go out into the world and share your values because
the older we get, the more we become our parents! With my deepest thoughts of you today as they give
you a beautiful tribute, I wish you eternal peace. Love, Carolyn
