My deepest sympathy and prayers go out to the DiMaggio Family. I have some very fond memories of Mr. DiMaggio and his family as the Nelson family lived just down the alley and I went to school with Diane and Debbie. May you look deep into your hearts and find the strength you need to get you through these trying times. Remember you have many friends out here thinking of you and saying prayers. God Bless!
