You all probably dont remember me, I knew you girls and you parents and Grandma when I was a kid thru my early teenage years. Every now and then I check in people I use to know from Eagle Park. I remember your folks as being super nice people, your mom use to say I drove like the " hammers from hell". LOL. May god bless them all and keep them close to him in Heaven.

Dear Ann and Lorraine,
I don't know if you remember us but we lived on Douglas Ave. and your parents bought their home from my grandfather, Joseph Scuncio. Our names at the time were Cheryl and Rayna Moretti. We also went to school with both of you at Nathaniel Greene. We remember you parents as great people. Your father was so nice. So sorry for your loss, our thoughts are with both of you. We think of you often.

Dear Ann and Vinnie,
Although I haven't seen Lefty in a while I always will remember what a great guy he was. He would always tell me about growing up with my Father and stories of how it was when they were kids. My deepest sympathies go out to you and your family.
