Dear Benny and Family,
Angelo and I were so sorry to hear of Carlene’s passing.  I, especially remember her always being so pleasant and with a huge smile on her face.   And she was such a great Mother.   I especially remember Pam and Craig.  She was at Shippensburg while Angelo still taught and the last time I saw Craig was at my Mother’s ( Mary Costarella) funeral in 2001.
To all of you we extend our sincere sympathy.
