To the Muraco Family,
I have had the pleasure of teaching both Dean and Abby during my years at Amherst. My memories of Dean are all happy ones...his smile, his wit, his gentle ways. Abby, please know that Dean will always be a part of you...especially when you smile that MURACO SMILE. Dean obviously meant a great deal to many people...he will be missed but not forgotten. I bet right now he is loving the opportunity to smile his way out of something in heaven...just like he did in my classroom! Love and prayers,
Jennifer Chomen
