Hi.
My condences to the family.

Yesterday was Franco's anniversary. I got home too late to call. I had planned on calling Serena this weekend.

I am going to miss both Serena and Franco.

to Sergio my most sincere sympathy on the loss of your mother. She was always a dear friend, kind and understanding. She was a voice of reason in an unsettled world. Her help and guidance over the years kept the Circolo Italiano di Boston alive and vital. I shall miss her greatly and cherish my memories of her.

To Serena's family goes my deepest sympathy.
I shall always remember her for her exemplar character, style, and intellect.
Many a time she told me about her life and how grateful she was for all she had experienced.
Thanks, Serena, for your presence in my life.
