Dear Wayne, Denise, Irene, Dana & Family:
I am so sorry to hear of your father's passing. I remember our fun days at Aunt Polly's pool with such fondness. She still has the giant photo of everyone, hanging in the cabana, that you father made for her and Uncle Tom.
Please accept my deepest sympathies.
Sincerely, Brenda Azzarito
