So very sorry to learn of Mrs. Gioia’s passing. I had the true pleasure of meeting her some years ago during Classic Weekend. My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time…
Kathy and family, we were so sorry to hear about your mom! She was a lovely lady. Our thoughts are with you and your family. We have moved to Texas so won’t be able to come to calling hours, but you will be in our thoughts.
