Dear Barbara,
We heard the very sad news today from Sandra of Fred's passing. Please know that our loving thoughts are with you and the entire family.
Fred was so special to us - not only as a wonderful friend to the whole family - but his utter devotion and love for our daughter, Kelly, when she would visit RI in the summers of her youth was just so precious. Both of you created many happy memories for Kelly. Fred will always hold a very special place in our hearts.
I hope you and the family will take some comfort knowing that he is at peace with our loving Father in heaven.
With much love,
Diane & George D'Allesandro
