To the entire Pascuzzi family and their spouses, I was heart broken to hear about Monica just an hour ago. I have such loving memories of all of you, and shared so many good times and so many challenges you have endured. I am not able to be there to tell you in person how much you all have meant to me over the years, but please know I am with you in spirit and you are all in my prayers. I did see Monica for a brief visit several weeks ago and feel blessed to have seen her. She will be welcomed home by Nancy and Sam. God Bless.
I am so sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
