Dear Cathy and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Please accept my heartfelt condolences.
Having grown up around the corner from Domenic and Teresa after meeting Nick when I was 4 years old (in 1966), I was privileged to have known them and their generosity first hand. They will both be missed.

Nick – growing up, your parents always made me feel welcome in their home. I’ll never forget your mother’s giggle whenever she said my name and your dad’s mischievous smirk when he first offered me a glass of his homemade wine.
They were both wonderful people. May they both rest in peace together and may happy memories fill your hearts.
