I was sorry to learn of "Uncle" Fritzie's death. Although I didn't see him often, when he came to Mom and Dad's 60th Anniversary, it sure brought back memories of when we were all growing up. May your memories carry you through this time of sorrow.

We remember Dom (as we called him) as a great neighbor and a good friend! He sure cooked a mean Italian sausage! Anyone who talked with him for even a few minutes never doubted how much love he had for his family. We are lucky to have known him! While we are sorry to learn of his death, we are happy his pain has ended.

We are with you in spirit, if not in person, because we are away on a winter vacation.

Dear Katie, Anne & Raffaelo Family,

You are all in my thoughts and prayers during this sad time. I am so sorry for your loss. I wish more than anything to be there with you right now but am sending you lots of love. I can remember as a little girl going over to your house and your Dad always making the three of us girls laugh. It's hard to believe that 30 years has passed, but thankfully we are still best friends. Please know that I am here for you both if you need me!

With Love,
Alaxandra & Sabrina Hope
