My prayers are for the DeRaimo family during this time of great loss. Pricilla (Mrs DeRaimo) was someone I got to know while I was in high school with daughters Carolyn & Rosemary. She was a lady of charm, wit, compassion, & love for family and friends. She and Okey were an amazing couple & parents to their entire family. Her (& Okey) legacy is the family she loved & the friends she made. God Bless this dear lady & her entire family & extended family.
