Joseph and Catherine, your mom had a smile like the sun, kindness and an open heart to all, especially to her family.
I will always carry in my heart the laughter, talks and most of all, the friendship your mom and I had. I will forever miss my shy neighbor and friend Chovine, whom I loved and respected.
