Dear Francine & all the Family:
I am so very sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. Having worked at Rocky Neck State Park and the Chopping Block Restaurant, I came to know the whole Picazio family. Always, I'll remember Nettie's smiling face - she was always so gracious to everyone.
With my deepest sympathy,

Dear Francine and Nettie's Family: I was sorry to hear about your mother's passing. She was a wonderful friend to my parents, and I know they enjoyed many laughs and good times together in Florida as well as Connecticut. She is at peace now with Frank, Frankie and Dick. God bless all of you.

Francine + family; Although I only worked one season at Rocky Neck--Nettie was like family--that wonderful "other Mother" and director--who coordinated a gangley group of teenagers into a dedicated workforce--many of whom still stay connected. She was always so proud of her family--sharing her joys and losses over the years and her undying Faith...... She was also the "Decorator of the Seasons" with her magnificent window displays at the end of Ocean Ave--that we would all travel to see what was in Nettie's new display??.....Peace be with you as you join your family..much love...Jeannette
