We're so sorry, Fran and Dick, and the whole Trotta family on the loss of Irene. She was such a nice person. We're glad we were able to spend the day with her recently at Anthony's graduation party at the park. She seemed to be really enjoying herself and being with her family.
With our deepest sympathy,
Love you all, Mitch and Erin
