Barbara sending my prayers and sympathy on the loss of your father along to the rest of your family. I have never met him but in talking w/Dawn he was a wonderful and kind man.
Prayers for your precious mom losing the love of her life.

Mr Verde had a profound influence on my teenage years. I never walked into his house without him or Mrs Verde offering something to eat. His Italian sausage hooked me for life, but I’ve never found any as good. I hope his family can reflect on what a kind, generous and genuinely good patriarch he was to overcome their loss and grief.
Barbara i am so sorry to hear about Dad He was amazing Tell mom i said hi and know that i loved being able to be their nurse for a long journey. Prayers to you and your family

Dear Barbara: I am praying for your Daddy now. Sorry for your loss to this world, but in the next, with our Lord, he will be blessed. Write to me when you can. Danny Durdin (jamesdandurdin@cox.net)
