Our hearts go out to Ray and the kids. This has been an unkind year to you. (Lorenzo is the neighbor, and I am the girlfriend.) I wanted to share with you my memories of Enrico. He was so talkative and so friendly. He and Lorenzo were always talking. When Lorenzo--I call him Lance--first told me about Enrico, when Lance bought the house next door, he told me Oh My God, he's my grandfather. Lance's grandfather was also from Italy, also gardened, also made wine. I have so many...
