Dearest Marianne and Family,
Your house on Croton Avenue will forever be known to us as the "Brew" house - one filled with laughter. We recall tenderly your kindness and supportive presence in those first few years here. Harry was SPECIAL, compassionate, supportive, loving and accessible. His wonderous sense of humor always buoyed everyone's spirits. And you, truly you were the other power behind the throne. THE BREWS remain always SPECIAL in our hearts. Know that our loving prayers are with you at this sad time. Lovingly, Ben and Gladys Caterinicchio
