Tony and Dom (Nic)
I am so sorry about your Mom and Grandma!! Sis was one of a kind! I will miss her random texts messages checking in
I’m sure Anita greeted her with open arms 🩷🩷
I remember Sis so fondly, all those great years on the softball fields at Blakeslee and Orchard Hill. Back in the 80s and 90s, there was a great women’s softball league here in town. Sis was so much a part of it, along with her umpiring partner Jill. She was a great person, always so upbeat, supportive and funny. I first met Sis around 1974 when I was Anita’s coach in the junior girl’s league. Just great memories. And now Sis and Anita are united again. My condolences to the family. North Haven has lost a great citizen.
Dear Tony,
I am so very sorry for the loss of your awesome mom. I used to love going to my softball games and chit chat with your mom on the field, we actually had some good heartfelt conversations in between innings and pitches 🙂 May all of the fond memories of her bring peace to you and your family.
