Dear Laura and Family,
I''m so sorry I wasn't aware of Guy's passing and I just don't know how to express my heartfelt sadness. I am saddened by the fact that I was not able to offer my personal support to you and Guy's family in a more timely manor . Guy was one of the kindest and most generous people I've ever known and there will always be a void left by his untimely passing. I will always think of Guy fondly and he will be missed.
As my friend should you need my help in any way please call me, as it would be my privilege to do any service in Guys name. Always, Stuie

Dear Laurel and Family,
I am so sorry about your dad. It seems like only yesterday that we spent so many wonderful weekends down at your Milford cottage and on your dad's boat. We always had such a fantastic time and he was always so warm and welcoming. I feel terrible that I'm unable to pay my respects in person. Your dad was truly a special man. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Always, Patty DeRosa-Lukach and Family

Dear Laura
We moved in across the street from you and Guy early summer and I'm sorry to say that we have not had the opportunity to formally introduce ourselves. I’ve done business with Greco& Haynes quit a few years back and I certainly remember Guy from back then.

We would like to express our condolences and let you know that you’ll be in our prayers. If there is anything we can do to help please don’t hesitate, we’re right across the street (30 Oakland).

Sincerely
Bill and LeeAnn Jacabacci

Dear Laura and Family

Bonnie and I, and your friends here at Marine Colony, are grieving for you today. We are distressed that we had so little time to prepare, but gladdened that Guy, and you, were spared the pain, and anguish, of a lingering illness.

Laura - your partnership was a wonderful thing. You both lived life to the fullest, and shared it so generously with family and many friends. Guy's passing leaves a hole in all our lives. We hope, and are sure, that you will come to visit, and to help us celebrate his life and memory, perhaps with a small grappa. We send you our love and our sincere condolences.
