Dear Tom: Our hearts go out to you on the death of your lovely wife. Jackie and I started out as a client of Dolores's 25 years ago, and all this time later we still consider her a friend. She always had a smile and a kind word of concern for my family. We used to have a lot of laughs at the Mayfair Fitness Center.



May God hold you and your family in the palm of his hand at this difficult time.



With sympathy, Tom (and Jackie) Manno.
