Dear Sal & Angie.
My prayers are with you and your
family on the passing of Virgie.
She was my mother's best friend.
I am so sorry that I couldn't be
there with you but I have been
under the weather and I just can't
get there. My mom and your mom
were always together and if I
remember so were our fathers.
