My deepest thoughts and prayers to all the Family. Richard and I are holding you all up in prayer. It was an honor to know Mrs. Savignano- to me she was the quiet but strong Matriarch of the family. The heart and soul of the family. She raised awesome children that have a strong outlook on faith and family. God speed Mrs. Savignano- GOD speed
In Sympathy,
Terri & Richard Davis
