Dear Vincent and Diane

My name is Molly Philbin. My husband Dave played football for Capodichino with Vince in 1971. I am so sorry you lost your precious son. My heart goes out to you.

David died of Alzheimer´s Disease in 2020. I am left with great memories including the household goods you left for us in Licola when you shipped out. I want to thank you. Your generosity simplified our transition.

Gratefully yours,
Molly

PS. Eugene Langston, a treasure, spoke at The Celebration of Dave´s Life.
