To Mrs. Vassallo and the entire Vassallo family, I would like to send my thoughts and prayers out to you at this diffucult time. I met Mr. Vassallo while in the Kimbrough Center in the late 90's. He was a very nice man and always treated me with respect. I was lucky enough to meet Mrs. Vassallo on one occasion also and she seemed like a wonderful woman. God Bless
