Hi Marie;



So sorry to hear about Aunt Mary passing away. Wish I could be there. My sister Dolores past away in March, and my husband past away at the end of February this year. Just wanted to pay my respects to you and your family. My deepest sympathy. I have thought about you both so often. I saw Aunt Florence and her family at my sisters wake. We thought Buddy was going to come, but we never got to see him.

Love always,

Arlene (Lee)Cordello sisters

Dear Marie and Jim,

I only wish I could be there to bid your mother farewell. I sure loved her all the days from our childhood and when you all lived in our building. Seems so long ago and yet, it is like only yesterday. I love you and miss you.

Lovingly,

Judy Cordello Terracina
