Carol and Family: I am so sorry about your dad. I remember, even though it was a very long time ago, his adoration for his daughters and his first grandchild. (that's how long it has been). Remember when someone you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure. Treasure those thoughts of your dad, as I am sure he is looking down treasuring thoughts of you.
Please accept my condolences,
Pat Sullivan and Marasovich Family

Dear Rosemary, Kathy and Carol,

It was with deep regret that I learned of Mondo's passing from Stanley. Mondo was a wonderful person who I only remember as warm, inviting, supportive, and a joy to be with -- always. He was a perfect complement to you, Rosemary. How lucky you were to have found each other. And how lucky the children were to have had Mondo as a dad. I know you will miss him dearly.
Fortunately, he lived a long and wonderful life. You are lucky to had the opportunity to experience his love for all those years.

Please accept our deepest sympathy to all.
Love,

Franny & Burton
