Mara, Danny, Robbie, and Jeanne: Our thoughts and prayers go out to you this week at the tremendous loss of your dad, Sonny. He was a "one-of-a-kind" guy, who rarely said a sentence without sometimes offensive punctuation, who loved his kids and his belief in family with rare fierceness, who chewed on his knuckle every single time I saw him! He loved you guys, he loved your Mother, and now he will rest well. Thinking of you, loving you, always...Pretty Aunt Kitsy
