Dear Mom,
It was your faithful and abiding prayer that Char and I would have children. You were able to see Dominic before God called you home. We now have Gianna in our arms and I know that you are smiling from heaven. I can't thank you enough for all of your love and prayers. I will love you always.

I only met Mary a few times in my lifetime when the Eskro's would visit the Vecellio's in St. Paul. I always knew she was a great woman with a grand heart. We will all miss her deeply until we meet again.

Mike, Char and family,
You are in my thoughts and prayers. I believe that those who pass away so close to Easter are with God in Heaven (It's like a Purgatory by-pass) Your mom truly is a saint.
