She was the highlight of our trips to Rob's hometown of Batavia, New York!
It will never be the same without her....you can tell by the obituary...The Marchese Family stays close to home...thank goodness Rob found a job in Austin after getting his masters from RIT (Rochester Institue of Technology)!!  Thank you Motorola/Freescale for hiring him....I am so lucky that he is a TEXAN now and never wants to go back!
