Dear Richard and Family,

I was sorry to learn of the death of your mom. I hope you remember me, from our childhood together. I am David Angelica, and lived on Enfield Street. I attended Suffield Academy with Jimmy Parakilas, and others, graduated from Trinity and then moved to New York, where I did my graduate work. I now live in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. My mom passed away last Friday, and I was downloading the Journal Inquirer, when I read your mom's tribute. I will be putting her Obit in today.

Please accept my warmest sympathy and know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers in the days ahead. No matter how prepared we are, our moms' passing creates a painful void that can never be filled. Mothers are oftentimes the hardest to lose, no matter what the age. Please know that you will be supported in the days ahead by so many loving friends and family. Very sincerely, The Reverend Dr. David Angelica.
