Dear Fanelli Family,
You may not remember me, but I am sure you will remember my late parents – John & Mary Baldwin. Dad, Mom, Barbara & Brenda and Larry are all deceased and it is just Mike and me now.
"Aunt Cass" could always prepare a mean spaghetti dinner for Barb when we were all younger. My ‘kids’ are 34 (Melissa)& 24 (Tommy)-(not kids anymore!) and my grandkids-Aidan is 2 1/2 & his sister Hailey Emma is 13 months – Cass would have enjoyed having a conversation with Aidan he is a talker.
My thoughts and prayers are with each of you and your families during this difficult time.
The loss of someone close is difficult to bear, but the sorrow that you feel is a sorrow that is shared.
With Sympathy,
Tom and Gail (Baldwin) Martin
