Rosanna, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time of great sorrow. I had the pleasure of meeting you at a baseball game at St John's Military Academy. You may not remember. My son Tony and Marco played on St. John's team. You walked across to the concession stand, which was quite a distance, to get some refreshments and you also brought back some candy for my other son who was 6 years old at that time. I have never forgotten that act of kindness. May God Bless You and Your Family.
