Dear Mrs. Salamone and family: Dr. Salamone saved my mother's life in 1967. She was 44 at the time and had a very large abdominal tumor removed. It was benign and we had her an additional 42 years.
Rest in peace Dr. Salamone. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Cay, so sorry to read of Ray's passing. Tony and I speak and think about you both very often. I am sure you know the two of you have had a special place in our hearts. You have always been a ray of sunshine, may GOD BLESS you, Cay and give you strength. We feel confident Ray has already gotten together to play golf with the old gang. GOD BLESS you and your entire family.
