Dear Mr. Merlotti, Mary Ann, Sr. Benjamin, and the rest of the Merlotti family,
Your entire family have my deepest sympathy at the death of Mrs. Irene Merlotti. I remember when she and I would talk in Mary Ann's kitchen when Jeremy was little. Jeremy and my son, Chris,(who were best friends then and are still best friends to this day) would be playing in the basement wrestling or in the family room playing video games. Mrs. Merlotti was always a joy to talk to and visit with.
Please know the Merlotti family is in my prayers.
