In lieu of flowers, the Family is considering charitable donations to reflect Mom’s compassionate and generous nature. One thought is Catholic Charities; as they have a wonderful efficiency with donated monies. https://www.networkforgood.org/donation/ExpressDonation.aspx?ORGID2=111843801&vlrStratCode=dBRcVS99m%2fW7XVFSCWjyO0DX87cTmINlIbaxMsbt4ceKgX1%2br5KYKud%2faMkW1l44 Another thought to consider was Mom’s love of the water. Every visit to Long Island always included a trip to Jones Beach! http://nysparks.com/natural-heritage-trust/support-state-parks.aspx Mom was also very supportive of the Hospice that tended Dad in Atlanta. http://www.vnhs.org/support-us/making-donations/
