Tresa and John were a great couple.   We really looked forward to seeing them at EBT  every year.   I will remember them always and keep them in my prayers.
HELLO TO YOU SAM.

Dear Sam and Meg and family,
So sorry to hear of your mom’s death. 
She was a dear friend from years at Fort Myers Beach.
We enjoyed many outings, especially every Friday’s flea market adventure with Madelyn , Marilyn, and anyone else who fit in the car. And we loved it when she and John stopped in Cincinnati on their way home and we went for Graeter’s ice cream. YUM!
Blessings and love,
Betty Lacey

Sam and John, warmest condolences to you and your family.  I know it's never easy to lose the matriarch of the family, but hope all the photos, shared memories and friendships will be consoling.  She raised a wonderful family.  Keeping you in my thoughts.

Thank you for being my biggest fan and supporter, and driving up to Harbor Springs to cheer me on as I finished my first triathlon. Thank you for all the times you agreed to go up north with me and being my co-pilot so I wouldn’t have to drive by my myself! 

I love and miss you tremendously 

I am going to miss spending my lunch breaks with you, and seeing you after work. I’ll never forget how excited you’d get for smoothies, laughing at all the crazy Snapchat filters, and teaching you ow to FaceTime! I love you always 💖

Our prayers go out to all of you.  Tresa was a dear and very sweet woman who was loved by so many.  She will be dearly missed by all who knew her.   Love and prayer for you and your family dear friends, Marian and Randy

Dear Lamerato Family,
   I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your Mother/Grandmother/G Grandmother.  The few times I have seen her, she was always so kind and personable and made me feel welcomed.  We sat and chatted for quite some time at each occasion.  Such a nice person and a grand lady.  
Blessings,
Judy Rollenhagen 

Sam and Meg, 
My thoughts and prayers are with you both and I just wanted to send my deepest condolences. 
Danny Brashear and family.

You will be missed, but so glad we were able to spend time together! Love you 😘 

Dear Lamerarto Family,
I will always remember your Mom and my Mom sitting together at EBTC. Looking like they could be sisters. They never forgot each other’s birthdays. A special lady that raised a wonderful family. You are all so lucky to have been loved by such a special lady.
Love & prayers.

Childhood memory of Aunt Tresa: No matter what day or what time you arrived at Aunt Tresa's home even for a short visit,  you were hugged and strongly invited to sit and eat.  You just knew you were about to eat something unbelievably good. She put it together while laughing and chatting away.  Such a warm memory to me.

Mrs. Lamerato was a lovely lady and the matriarch of a beautiful family. We feel blessed that we knew her. We are so sorry for her loss, which will surely leave a void in the in the lives of all who knew and loved her. Our prayers are with her family in their time of grief.
