Dear Pat and Family,
You have my deepest sympathy in your loss of Tony. He was always so pleasant whenever we ran into each other on the North side, before either one of us moved. We've moved to East Troy to be near Rich and his family because Clyde and I are having health issues. We always loved your friendship from the days when the Henry's lived on 17th Avenue and the Hodals lived on 14th Ave.
Love, Betty Fonte Ruffalo.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories, family, and friends can help us through it. Remembering you and your loved one today and always. All our Love, Don And Jan
