I had known Nicki and Nicholas all my life and her other brothers and sisters. They were all great people. So sad to read of her passing. Delaware will miss her.

Dear Zanetos Family
I. was so sad to read the newspaper and see this name. I knew this had to be a relative. I also didn't realize there was a connection to the Nectar.....one of my favorite places. No wonder you know good candy! Again, so sorry for your loss.
