I was fortunate enough to have met Mrs. B. through her daughter, Claire, who shares her mother's kind, generous and loving nature. Mrs. B is the kindest, warmest and most loving woman I think I have ever know. Her gentle, caring and warm nature lives on in her three children and their families. From the moment I met Mrs. B, she made me feel welcome and a part of her family. I have always been moved by the depth and expression of love she and her family had/have for one another. I can remember sitting at their dinner table at Easter and seeing Mr. B. pull a photo of Mrs. B from his wallet to proudly show me the wonderful woman he was married to as he teared-up slightly at the thought of how much he loved her. The love they shared for each other and for their children, daughter-in-law and grandchildren was so beautiful to see. It was equally special to see how much Claire, Joey, Eric, Vicki, Nikki and Danny returned that love. The Borrellis are a very special family and I feel so fortunate to know them and to have known Mrs. B. I know that I am a better person for having known her; I also know that if I can be even half as good a person as she was then I will have accomplished something. I will never forget her.
