I recently had to pull out my architectural drawings. They were done by Mr Pacelli. I remember how kind he was during the process of my having him prepare The drawings to add on my second story addition. It's been 20 years since the addition was done and it is wonderful. Just learned of his death, but want to know that he has been in my prayers.

Dear Marc and Ann,



I'm sorry about the passing of your dad. I had the pleasure to work for him during the early 90's. Often he seemed more like a grandfather than a boss. He was a sweet and kind man. I was especially touched and flattered when he asked if I could send him a picture of my two daughters. I later learned that he proudly displayed the photo on his refrigerator. I'm very sorry for your loss, may Christ sustain you during your time of grief.

I'm so sorry I was unable to attend your father's wake or funeral. I just want to give my condolences and hope that you have nothing but pleasant memories.

Ann, I went to school with you at St.Xavier's Academy and Mother McAuley. I remember both of your parents, especially your mother. I guess we are at the age where we read the death notices and I saw your name. I think you were from St John Fisher's Parish. I lost my father 16 years ago and my mother has Alzheimers and will not be on her own soon. My sister, Cindy, who has Down's Syndrome, lives with her in Marco Island,Florida. Please accept my sympathy. I hope to see you at our 40th reunion next year. Please take care. I took out our primary school picture just a few weeks ago and I am remembering your picture and others. I was interviewed for the Mercy Sisters' history just two weeks ago and I had to tell them who I knew that followed me to McAuley.I am still friends with Kathy McCormick and Mary Anne.Do you remember Virginia Lally's dress up birthday party? That's where I thought you looked just like your mom. She always looked so nice and formally dressed in suits for school occasions. Take care of yourself. Charlene
