I want to extend my deapest sympathy for your families loss. Mrs. Spiaggi was a wonderful woman. She helped shape my life as my Girl Scout leader. She and her family also lived across the street from my family in Cradock. I grew up with Lawrence as a friend and enjoyed Phillips many antics. Her home was always open and full of laughter. She will be greatly missed by all that new her. I am sorry that I cannot attend the viewing or Mass but I will say a rosary for her.
