Dear Girls and families,

We are so, so sorry to hear about your dad. Martha just read it in the East Boston Times and called us. I will always remember all the good times we had with your Mom and Dad- hanging around watching you kids grow up and eating Karen Fay's famous Chili. Please know that had we known we would have been there - Porky was a good friend. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Love,
