Dear Steve,

Words cannot express my sorrow and condolences to you, my friend, and your entire family.

Steve, we only have 1 mom and no one ever can take their place. I share with you what you are about to experience and recall the feelings when my mom, Annie passed recently. We will live with those wonderful, irreplaceable memories embedded not only our minds, but in our hearts & souls.

I am so sorry that I cannot be their with you, but I share your grief and have prayed for Mel. I will continue to do so everytime I pray for my mom. I take comfort, and know you will too, in knowing that she served a genuine purpose in this world and made an indelible mark that lives forever in you and your children.

She, Annie and all our friends moms are in a better place, and if they could, would not want to come back! In a sense, I envy them for this peace and tranquility they now share with God.

My heart, tears and prayers are with her, and you, forever.

Your friend,

Rocco
