To the Perna and Mariani Families,

I was saddened to read of the loss of Anna.

At this time I am unable to attend the wake due to my own recent surgery. You are all in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.Please accept my sincere sympathies.

I often tell my family of the Sunday nights we would share as children, how you all followed baseball with a passion and of your

mother's meat ball sandwiches. These are happy memories which we will always have to remember.

God Bless You All,

Esther Mastrolonardo Palella
