Dan, Fergie, Pat, Mary & Carol, please know that you and your families are all in our thoughts and prayers, especially during this difficult time. I have such wonderful memories of the times we slept at your house when we came down for a visit. One of my most precious memories was eating bologna in the kitchen late at night with Carol and Uncle Ken. Uncle Ken introduced me to my first slab of bologna and I was so impressed. We had many happy times at your house. Your mother will be missed but she is remembered very fondly.
Love Wendy Gatti (Robson)
