Dear Mae and Maria,
My deepest sympathies on the death of Dolly. I never realized how much younger she was than my Mom but there was quite a difference. It has been so long since any of us has seen any of you but old friendship never dies even though we do.
Please know you will be in our prayers. I hope that Dolly did not suffer greatly and that her leaving was peaceful.
Fondly,
Cynthia Nicastro

Our thoughts are with you at this difficult time. Helena was well known to the department and we will miss caring for her.

Maria & Mae: On behalf of the entire Nicastro clan I offer you our deepest sympathies on the passing of “Dolly.” I have great memories of visiting with Dolly and your mom/grandmother on Park Street next to Muzzy Field. We wish you all the best for the holidays. Keep Dolly close by keeping the good memories close.
