Dear Cyndee & Paige, I’m not sure if you remember me (it has been a very long time). My mom was Joyce (Davis) Yonushewski your moms first cousin (daughter of Jean (Kuiken) Davis Hassey). I was so sorry to hear of the recent loss of your mom. (My mom just passed in February at 87 and I’ve been wondering where all the family went.) Sadly the first place I looked was obits in NJ and found your mom. In her last few months she periodically asked and wondered how and where you mom was as she had lost touch with her after her mother and Marge passed. I hope you are all well. Take care and God Bless. I’m sure they are partying in heaven as I write this
