David and Allyson,
I was blown away when I heard about your Mom's passing. She was such a great lady. I will always remember her laugh. She had a great sense of humor. She was such a kind and caring gentle soul. She would do anything for anybody. She will be greatly missed. I know she was always watching out for you guys. She was always talking about you, David with his sports and Allyson with her grades, she was very proud. I know it doesn't seem like it right now but she will still be watching over you just in a different location. She loved her kids very much. Be strong for her and if you need a shoulder our family is always here. God bless. Mary DiBeneditto

You are in my thoughts and prayers. I only met Deb once, but talked with her a lot by phone and email, especially when the Sox were in the playoffs with the Rockies. She will be greatly missed.
