Jane and family,
I am so sorry to see if Mr.Ricci's passing. I remember him as a teacher in West Leyden and was happy to reconnect with him as a volunteer for the hospital. I am very sorry for your loss.
Jane and family, so sorry for your loss. Prayers and condolences.
Rest in Peace Uncle Ant. I will always cherish the times that we shared with Aunt Jane, and my brother Rob. From the White Lake Camp, to Cuddles and Rex the beagles to being taught how to reload in Nonnies Basement; the memories will always bring me joy.
