Dearworthy Pat, Grace Ann, and Mary Jo: I am so sorry about your precious mother. There is no hurt like the loss of a mother -- and a sister. There was never time enough to grieve the passing of Donna before your mom passed. You must all feel hurt beyond hurt. I am so sorry for the pain that is all around you. Everywhere you turn, the pain is omnipresent. If I could, I would most want to take that pain away. All I can do now is send you my sincere sorrow for your sorrow. It not only hurts in the mind but in the heart and body as well. I am sorry that I am so far away. Some of my favorite memories were of our times together when we were growing up. We would play games, watch TV, and we would eat. How we would eat. I cherish those times togethet. And your mom was always sweet to me. She would always pause and think whenever I asked her a question. She had uncommon respect for me as a little person. I will always remember her kindness. I'm so sorry I'm not there now and that I wasn't there when Donna died. I send you my memories, my heart, my sorrow, and my love. I am far away, but I am with now, at this moment. I am so sorry. Love Always, Jack Pantaleo jackp100@gmail.com 415-401-5004
