I loved Domenica so much! Everyone did! She will be missed by many people but she will also be joyfully welcomed to Heaven by many loved ones who went before her. May she rest in Eternal Peace. My thoughts are with Chucky and Diana and Elaina and I´m thinking of you Nancy and Jimmi and Bruno. I would be there if I didn´t live in South Carolina. Y´all are welcome here any time you need a vacation

Sorry for your loss. She was a dear friend of my late wife Ann Fitzmaurice. I went to Wellesley High with Carl. Moved to SC last year.
Another Wellesley stalwart gone.
