Condolences for Theresa Nardone


From : Sue Hatem Capretta

Date: March 10th 2019

I saw this in the paper today and it brought back so many wonderful memories. I met Theresa when I lived in Grandview and met her on our bus ride into downtown. I used to take her to church on Sunday's and then we would do lunch afterwards. She was like my mom away from home. We would have great conversations about just anything. I regret that I lost contact with her and wanted her family to know she had a special place in my heart, someone I never forgot. My condolences to you all and I will be praying for you tomorrow. Sue
