Dear Aunt Ruth & Cousins,

Unfortunately, we are not able to be with you physically, but we are with you spiritually. Uncle Frank was a little zany at times but we deeply appreciated that zanyness; especially, when he called his grand nieces and nephews by the parent's first name. Our Jamie was "little Bunnie" and that made me feel accepted and loved in his eyes; me being the "outlaw" rather than the "in-law".

All of you have been special to us and we treasure you as family and your glowing presence in our lives. You have always greeted us with warmth and open arms.

Our hope for each of you is that you experience the peace, happiness and enjoyment that you have provided us.

Always remember us as loving all of you.

Affectionally,

Jim Cacciottolo

To Frank's son Chuck,

I never had the opportunity to meet your dad in person - but I've heard Al tell stories about him. I am sorry for the sorrow you and your whole family are going through right now.

No matter that losing our parents is the "normal" order of things. Normal doesn't lesson the pain and deep sense of loss.

i am glad your dad had time enough to know Patty well and was able to spend nearly two years with his granddaughter Jacqueline.

May the best memories of your dad sustain and comfort you all now and in the future.

We've not seen you in way too long.... we miss you and Patty.

Blessings always, Savannah
