Dear Roseann and Family, I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved mother and our dear friend Edda. When my mother and I would visit from Florida, we always spent an afternoon with your mother. Despite our protestations, like a true Italian gourmet, she would whip up a five-star lunch for us within minutes! During our last visit together at your home, one of the last things Edda told me was that my mother was a great friend of hers. I will treasure her memory always for those kind words. With heartfelt sympathy, Sondra Sellitti

Dear Roseanne, I am so sorry for your losses. I will always remember your mom and how she walked all of the time. I passed her almost daily and would wave and say hello to her.
