To the Giaccone/O'Neil Family,
Unfortunately we just heard the news today. I can't express how sorry we are for the loss of your daughter, sister, wife and mom. I grew up with the Giaccone family and even though we didn't stay in touch I still feel very connected to the family since we all grew up together. Please accept our condolences and if there is anything we can do please let us know.

Dear Sylvia, Nick & Suzanne,
Losing anyone is a difficult thing to endure; losing a sibling is so much harder. We're all supposed to grow old together and laugh about years gone by and things our parents never found out. Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers, as are the rest of your families.
Dear Ida & Nick,
I have seen the pain caused by losing a child and I cannot offer words that would ease your pain. My heart goes out to you both and I pray for God to be with you during this sad time.
Dear Patrick, Caitlin, Kyle & Caleigh,
Words cannot express how deeply sorry I am for your loss. I pray for you that you will find strength in God and comfort in the wonderful memories you have of your wife/mom. God bless you.
With love,
Lori (Chapman) Longfritz
