Vinny;
My deepest sympathy to you and your family. My regrets for not being to attend the services.
I lost my mother a couple of years ago to similar circumstances. I met your wife through you at the Bank.
Since my mother's family is in Italy, Elena offered to write something for us or translate in communicating with our family.
Vinny, I know we spoke a few times about her condition since it was very much like what I went through with my Mom.
Have comfort to know that she was a great lady and she is at peace.
Have strength my friend with your son. It's not easy.
Cherish the memories you had together.

Vinnie: I was devasted to hear of Elena's passing. She was such a wonderful person - always so upbeat and that smile would melt anyone. God works in mysterious ways and sometimes it is hard for us to understand His ways, but we know our Faith in Him will see us through those difficult times. May God Bless you and your family now and always. With deepest sympathy.
