I am so sorry for your loss. Santa was a wonderful person. I have many memories from being a neighbor in Oswego. I was going to try to make it to the wake but the weather didn’t cooperate. Thinking of your family.
Dear Chuck, Debbie, Carol, Donna and Joe,
I am so sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. She (and you all) was such a good neighbor and friend for many years. I had planned to come see you at the calling hours this afternoon, but have decided not to travel due to the deteriorating weather conditions.
I pray you find comfort in the many fond memories you have of Santa. You and your families are in my prayers.

My sincere condolences to you all. Santa and I worked at Marine Midland Bank together. She was a hard working woman that knew her stuff. And not just about banking. She mothered us all. I still remember very clearly her sparkle in her eyes as she would go on and on about Shelby. I think of that and wonder about the stories I missed out on. Santa was one of a kind. She and Chuck were super sweet to me and I remember them fondly. These two were parents to many!
