Dear Donna, Joey, and Russell,
Words can not express how sorry I am to hear of the passing of your mom. She was a very wonderful woman and a very special part of my life and I will never forget all that she taught me. She had the most incredible family values, I especially loved the holidays, the Italian cookies and the decorations. The house was so warm and welcoming. Every time I walked in for dinner an extra pound of macaroni was instantly put out by her, just for me…
I know that you will all miss her and I will too…I fortunately got to see her and talk with her a few months back and it was very nice.
Again she is with your Dad (my buddy)!!
Sincerely,
Rhonda (Sam, Pharis and Naja Rose) Sasa
