Dear Cousins "Annette", Glenn & Joe -
I was saddened to learn yesterday, of the passing of your dear husband & father, Buddy.
Buddy's mother, Dolly Rocco Valerio, was my father, Peter Rocco's sister and so over the years I was always happy to see Buddy & Antoinette at various family functions. Also, I remember how kind Buddy and Antoinette were in visiting "Uncle Pete" in my father's widowed years.
Buddy and Antoinette were a thoughtful & elegant couple from a disappearing cohort of "old family."
I last saw Buddy at my sister, Cookie's, funeral three years ago. He and Antoinette will remain in my memories as dear cousins.
My husband, Dan, joins me in sending our sympathies. No matter our ages, to lose a parent is a very sad event.
