Dear Sam and Cecilia: Accept my sincere sympathy on the passing of your mother. I remember her well from the days when Louie was still living. She and her sisters Francie, and Mary they always seemed so close to each other. I remember your mom always had a big smile on her face and was very kind. I can appreciate how you will miss her, but certainly 100 yrs. is a long like. I am sorry I will not be able to attend her funeral services because I will be out of town that weekend. Love and prayers to you and your family.Kathy Vignieri
