My deepest sympathies, having known Ann most of my life I am truly saddened. My memories will always be of her and Norma acting up in the Choir and Dom getting so mad at them. I wish I was feeling better today so that I could be there. Love you guys

A day will not pass when you are not far from my thoughts. I am honored to be your nephew and your Godson. You and Uncle Dom were always there for me and took care of me.
I can only hope that I made you proud as I am and always will be of you.
Love you always !!!!!
