Dear Gino and Richard,
We were all sorry to hear of Sarah's passing. We have such good memories. I don't even want to count back how many years it has been since the days that she worked at the store! Cara was a baby, and she's 26 now, so time does go by. I remember stopping by with Cara after I had had her at work with me. We would get some Vienna sausages for the ride home. Then when I was home with both girls, Eric would stop by the store and get marinated mushrooms as a treat for the girls. I also vividly remember how she used to let us charge when times were rough. Sometimes the whold crew would charge dinner when we couldn't make payroll...I hope she knows how important her generosity was to us all...
Our best to you both (and your sister whom we haven't met)

Dear Richard, GJ, and Jean:
I'm so very sorry about the passing of your mother. She was a wonderful lady and was always very kind to me, even as a stranger. She reminded me very much of my own mother and I feel very privileged to have known her. Please let me know if there is anything at all that I can do. You are all three in my thoughts and prayers.

Gino and Dick,
Doris and I were very sorry to read that your mother had died. We extend our sympathies. We haven't met your sister; however, our sympathies go to her too.
We remember the visit that we had when your mother, her aunt from Italy and Dick stopped at our house.

Jean, Dick and Gino Jr.,
I am so sorry to hear about your Mom. She was a wonderful Aunt, who did so much for me. Taking me to classes every Saturday, and church on Sundays. Sometimes she even took us to the "joke house" after church. She also gave me cooking lessons. I will remember her as one of the best cooks I knew. I enjoyed the time we spent together remodeling her kitchen. I will miss her.
Love, Londa
