Dear Mark, Jim, Keri, Gina & Anne,
My heart goes out to all of you at this time and in the days ahead. I have such fond memories of your mom/wife from being the room mother at Cossitt, my favorite Girl Scout leader, and of course my best friend's mom. She was so caring and had the sweetest voice that I can still hear. I am thinking of all of you.
Best,
Daphne

There are no words to express the kindness that I and my family have always received from Mrs. Rinaldi. Some of my fondest childhood memories take place in your house where I always felt welcome as one of the family. I'm very sorry for your loss and will always remember her as a wonderfully caring person who always went above and beyond for others.

We never were able to meet, but I worked with Linda at ANS. Please accept my deepest sympathy. I will remember her so fondly.
