Dearest Sassetti Family,
I was so very sorry to hear of Dad's passing. I know how very much you will all miss him. I wish I could have been there with you. Please know my loving thoughts and heartfelt prayers are with you all. I have wonderful memories of Mr. Sassetti. He was the first and only Dad I ever met who played the accordion! And what a great and classy dancer - I remember that experience from your Wedding reception Rita & Jim. Sending my love to you all, Michelle

Dear Alfia and family: Mary Martell told me on Tuesday of Bob's death. I am so sorry I didn;t know in time to come to the wake and funeral. Bob was --to use a Yiddish word--- a real MENTSCH: A man of integrity, modesty, great intelligence and compassion. I was so priveleged to get to know him (and your whole family) when I worked at SVF. May his memory be a blessing to us all.

Alfia,
I'm glad I was able to see you this morning if only briefly. I'll always remember Bob as a kind and intelligent man. As I think you know, my parents always held both of you in very high esteem. I'm sure you will find comfort from your beautiful family during this challenging time.
Be well...
