My condolences to Skippy and Cheri K. Volpe. We were neighbors growing up and spent so much time together. I have such fond memories of the Volpe family and come across photographs when we were kids, growing up together in a great neighborhood on Wampum Avenue in Ellwood City.
Suella, soar high with the Angels and go get your forever love!
I am so sorry about Suella’s passing. She was a kind and sweet person with a warm spirit.
