Dear Karen, Vinnie, and Dom,

I am very saddened to hear about aunt Jo's passing. We had heard recently how ill she was, and had hoped to visit her later this month.
I'm glad we had a good reunion at the family picnic, and did a lot of laughing together. I recall mostly always admiring her perserverance, strong work ethics, & just a good feeling, being in her presence.

She is at peace now, out of pain, and in the loving arms of your father, uncle Tony.

You had a wonderful mother, and father.

Our sincere sympathy is with you all.

Cousin,

Ted Saglibene & Family
