Barbara is just now recovering from massive surgery but asked me to send our deepest sympathy at the passing of her dear cousin Paul. Barbara remembers him well from family holidays and always considered him a shining model as she followed in his footsteps going to Classical High School and Brown University. Paul was always helpful and kind. We will miss him dearly. May he rest in peace.

Dear Donna, I was so sorry to hear about your father. I know how close you were. I didn't know all the accomplishments he achieved. How are you doing? I can't believe how many years have gone by since my Hawthorne days. I bump into Clarisse often at the hospital and always ask about you. After a loved one dies, our memories keep them alive in our hearts. God bless. (Say "hi" to Richard) LOL
Sincerely,
Carl

My thoughts and prayers are with Mrs. Bordieri, Donna, and Paul during this sad time. There are no words to describe my love and respect for Mr. Bordieri. He loved his family, he was a true gentleman, he had a contagious passion for the game of golf, and he personified the meaning of a true friend. Sincerely, Douglas Ronald Nani
