Dearest AnnMarie and Dominick, Michael, Mikey and Victoria:

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of incredible loss. I will always remember your mom and her laughter and joking her about her "Lawn Guyland" accent, which she NEVER lost. She will always be with you. She loved you all so much.

With our love and sympathy,
