Tony, Joey, Thersa, and families
It was with great sorrow I learned of your father's passing. Although I have been away from East Greenwish for many years, the name Forcelli always brought a smile to my face and a spark in my heart. Growing up as a child around you all and your parents was a great treasure in my life. Please know others share your loss and know that the time will come when we will all be reunited in a "better place". Mr. Forcelli, may you rest in peace.
Sincerely, Mary (Tully) Richards and Victor Richards
