Dear Barbara and Family,
Though it has been years since I have seen you, the Acampora family was an integral part of growing up in Bristol. Barb, you and Tony were my sister Gail's classmates.
My deepest condolences to your family and sadness for Tony's years of suffering with ALS.
I planned on attending the wake this evening but icy weather may prevent me from doing so. If that is the case , please know my thoughts and prayer come your way.
May God be with you in your time of sorrow.
Sincerely, Cynthia Nicastro
