"Dear Gary and Tommy, I often overheard your mom talking with mine on the phone the past couple of years, and loved hearing her talk (my mother uses the speaker phone). It reminded me so much of the old days--big family get-togethers at Aunt Katie's or our house. Your mom was always so nice to me. I remember running by her house in the 1990s during morning jog; she was sitting on the porch and invited me up, and we had a nice chat. Sorry that this pandemic is keeping us from being with you during this sad time. Cousin Vincent"
In loving memory of
Antonette Gallo
