Connie & Charlene - I will always have such great memories of both Nick & Delores from when I was just a little one. Seeing all the old pictures really brought back some great memories of visiting with you all on a Sat. nite when we were kids.
They are now both at peace & united once again. Our thoughts & prayers are with you both, as with Michael, Al & all the grandchildren. Please accept my most sincere condolences. They will be very missed by all of us!
