My thoughts and prayers are with you during this sad and trying time. I will always remember your mom as a truly loving and dedicated parent, ever present to the needs of her family and always willing to volunteer her services at St. Thomas. I will always have a picture of her standing at St. Thomas' door, at dismissal, a big smile on her face, to pick up her boys. I will truly miss her.

Dear Mr. Stanco, Andrew, and Alex,

I was very sorry to hear of your loss. As this year wore on, I was increasingly aware of your many trips to Greenwich Hospital, and because both my wife and an old friend were under treatment, I had some understanding of your burden. I know much reason Mrs. Stanco had to be proud of you all, and I can imagine how much of a comfort you were to her. Maggie and I want you to know how much you are in our prayers and we wish you peace as you begin your recovery from the cares of these last months.
