I am Jean's next door neighbor and I did not know her mother but wish I did; what a wonderful women she was. She led a very interesting life from the get go of being born in England and coming to this country at just 6 months old. It was wonderful to read about her beautiful family and all she accomplished in 96 years. This is truly a celebration of life for Philomena. Even though she lived 96 years and there is such a bright side to her story...I know that doesn't make it any easier for her family. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time; especially Jean. Sending warm wishes to all her family that her void be filled with the best memories of good times spent with Mom, Sister, and Grandmother. Rest In Peace Philomena
