Our sincere condolences to Dave and David Jr. and family. We had the wonderful relationship of enjoying Angela while our sons attended Siena college playing baseball. Our trip along with Angela and Dave visiting Norman Rockwells museum and attending Tanglewood concerts were enjoyable times together. Prayers and thoughts from us .

Dear Dave and family..I was so shocked when your mom called me yesterday. Angela was an angel to my mom. She was so knowledgeable and helpful when mom was going through all of her problems. Angela was an incredible woman. My heart is broken for all of you. It is at times like these that I wish we were still all together in Pittsfield. Just know that my spirit is there with you giving you love and support.

Dear David and Family:
As you know Angela and you have been very special in my life and I was honored to be your Best Man in your wedding...Eleanor Roosevelt wrote: "Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart"...Angela left many footprints in many hearts too numerous to count and now she is in Heaven as her name implies our "Angel" looking down on us with her loving care...Rest in Peace my friend...
