Debbie - Vicky & Stevie:

I was heartbroken today to learn of Uncle Chris' passing. I can hear him in heaven singing to all of the "Nanos Clan" around the card table as if we were all back at Uncle Teddy's house for Christmas or at my mom & dads house for Greek Easter. I know Vance and Drew are there watching, in awe of them all. You are all in my thoughts, prayers and heart.

Chris was a dear friend of ours in high school, and for awhile afterwards. We lost track of him before Mary died and for all these years wondered how he was, and where he was.

There were six of us who were inseparable in high school. When one of us ditched a class, we all did!!! Now with his passing there are only three of us left. Frank Sorentino, and Anna Morelli Sorentino are both gone.

Now, to see his name appear in the obituaries, we recall our dear friend and remember our short time together, and are so very sorry that we missed his presence in our lives for all these many years.

May he have the peace and love that is heaven, and may you find courage and strenght to go on without him. I hope he had a good and happy life.. We loved him, and now we will pray for him.

Sincerely, Bill Porter, Natalie Petrucci, and Mary Svizzero
