Dear Rago Family,

We were so sorry to hear of your dear wife and mother's passing. Our memories of Maria are those reflecting her as a loving & caring mother to her boys.

Vito Jr - a special hug for your loss. We now live in Oshkosh WI & would have attended the service if not for the distance separating us. Know that your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
