Mr. Pozzi,

Although I have never met you, I am the very best of friends with your daughter, Angela. You participated in parenting such an intelligent, loving, and caring daughter. That, I am certain, has given your life much meaning and purpose.

Angela has shared several stories with me about her upbringing and your family. I know, then, what a wonderful husband, father, and person you were.

Please shine down on all of us while you are up there with the rest of the angels.

Aunt Nancy,
I was sad to hear about the passing of Uncle Dominic. I understand the feelings that attach themselves to not having that special person around, however, I am pretty sure that he and Dad are up there together sharing 'old times'!! When we honor and love our God, He assures us that when we leave this temporary place the place that He has fixed especially for us is beyond anything that we can imagine!! May you find peace in the love of God through the next set of difficult days.

My condolences and prayers are with the Pozzi family during this time of sorrow and loss. I think I met you, Nancy at one of the church functions while you and Dom were cooking hot sausages. Dom and I worked on many different projects at IBM together, but I will remember him more on the golf course than anywhere else. We played together for a long time on Sunday mornings at the IBM CC. Dom even had me going to the 7:00 mass so I wouldn't miss the t-time. He was often asked to sub in my Monday league.

He was a gentleman to the core and a real fine person...he will be missed by everyone who ever met him.

Nancy, I am so sorry to hear that your husband did not win his fight. Anna and I were just wondering if either had seen you at the oncology department. Although I did not get to know your husband, it sounds like he was a very nice and good person. May God be with you in this very sad and life changing time.
