Melinda,
We are so very sorry to have learned of Raymond's passing. As new neighbors we so enjoyed getting to know you both and always loved Raymond's dry sense of humor and ready smile. As he passed us dog-walkers every day as he drove off to work he never failed to give us the "coffee mug" salute. He will be very fondly remembered. Our thoughts are with you. Please lean on your friends and neighbors during this difficult time. We are here for you.
Fondly,
Linda and Julie Faggio

Oh My Melinda,
I just don't know what to say, there just aren't words to express how deeply I hurt for you. I tried to be strong for you when I called yesterday, but the words just melted into tears, and they have most of the time since I got that dreaded call from Barb Sunday evening. I can't even talk to my Florida friends w/o bursting into tears. I want soooo bad to be there for you, but I know you have a strong support system w/I your family and I know they'll all be there for you as long as you need or want. I did e-mail Dale to see if he would go in my honor, unfortunetly he's not in Maryland and won't be for some time, otherwise he said he would have been glad to be there.
You and Raymond had such a wonderful life, overcame the hurdles life through in your way, you were both full of life, fun and adventure. I know because of you, Raymond was able to fullfill hopes and dreams. Last May when you two were giving me a tour of that beautiful new home, Raymond was soooooo proud of it and his sailboat, his passion, you made those things possible for him to enjoy. He died doing what he did best, having fun,and with the one he love, you, I hear he was playing volleyball, and he had gone jet skiing that very same day. Soooo full of life.
I know you're going to have a long rough road ahead of you, but please know, I'm ALWAYS here for you..
Love,
Elaine & John
