"Dearest Adrienne, Nick, Pat and all your family: Joe and I are so very happy to have FOUND Bob again in our retiring years. The memories from Morris Cove will live forever in our hearts and minds, way too many to single out here. And our more recent years shared in Branford and FL are among the most incredibly special of all! But our recent cruise together with Albert & Jackie and the four of us is monumental!!!! Bob's genuine friendship, bravery in the midst of tremendous odds, and his humor will never ever be forgotten!!We lost a very dear friend, and every one of your family members are in our prayers DAILY !!!! Adrienne you were an angel!! Be strong for Bob, he isn't far away from each of you!! Much love, Jean and Joe Farricielli. "
