Dear Sandy and Family, Please accept my deepest sympathies. I am so sorry I lost touch with you all many years ago. The last time I knew you were in the area was when you visited my mom. She gave me your address, but as always, I waited too long. My mom passed away almost 5 years ago and Marie who is the godmother, I think to your oldest has been gone 2 years, she also had cancer. I thought of you and Dom often and yet that is all I did, for that I am truly sorry. I knew Dom since he came to the United States and shared many happy times with him Miss him and love him. Love you too. As Always, Art Gilmore

Dom and I became friends when he came to New London. We had a lot in common because of our Italian heritage. My condolences to you Sandy and your family. His old buddy Chalkie
