To the Veltri family, I grew up on School Street — the daughter of Julia Portzer, who passed away Sunday, November 7th… amazing that Theresa had just entered the Geriatric Center, across the hall from my Mother. My heartfelt sympathies go out to your families.
To the Veltri family: My sympathy in the loss of your mother. I will miss seeing her out and about with her sons. My grandmother, Julia Canei, was a close friend of your family. My grandmother lived on School Street also and passed away in 1976. May peace be with all of you. Love, Angelo “Butch” Semenick
