    Steve and Sal,
    I am deeply saddened by the passing of your Mom. I have many wonderful memories working with her on all of the Sons of Italy dances. We had many laughs decorating the club. Ann was a lovely woman, a delight to work with and a very caring individual. She will be sorely missed, but I’m delighted she’ll be with John again. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
