Dear Elaine and Janet. I just learned of your mother’s passing. My deepest condolences to the two of you and your families. Your mother was a genteel and loving person. I remember visiting with her soon after I got out of the Army. Your mother, father, and of course, Louie, all were a part of my life, and each have a special place in my heart. I think of them often. My best. Joe Rocchio
