Dear Mary,
Time has a way of flying by, yet I can still remember your parents at the kitchen table of Charlie and Jane's laughing and having fun. Remember the good times and they will make you smile. I am so sorry for the loss of your mom.

Dear Joey, Tommy, Mary & Ann Marie,



Please accept our heartfelt sympathy to you, your spouses, children and grandchildren in the loss of your precious mother.



We deeply loved your mom, dad & Danny and grieve with you.



Your parents took my family under their wing soon after moving to Senkow Drive, and our families remained close and loving throughout the years. Friendships like this are rare. When I met & married Sink, the Keoghs also welcomed him into the family. We have been blessed over all these many years.



Who can forget the incredible meals that the Anninos & Keoghs shared? We all benefited from the talents of the two best chefs in the world....Luki and Annie! Sink fondly remembers Luki's famous dinner of BBQ ribs & chicken, teriyaki fried rice & homemade coleslaw.



Even though we are not blood relatives, we consider all of you our family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you & yours throughout this difficult time.



Please let us know if we may do anything for you here in CT.



With our deepest sympathy and love,



Sandy & Sink
