Condolences on the loss of your beloved Jean. I came across the death notice for Jean and recognized that their is a family connection through the Stumpo side. I would attend the service, but I had recent surgery and cant get out. My maiden name was Ortale. Im the niece of Rose and Josephine. I have some old Stumpo photos from my aunts that I would be pleased to give you. If you are interested, please contact me. Again my sincere sympathy for your loss.
