To the Buono Family,
We are so sorry to hear of the passing of your dear Mother Toni. We did not know your Dad passed away last year.
My husband was a business associate of your Dad’s thirty plus years ago. Your Mom was a customer of my floral shop for personal and business occasions. We met them while on vacation in Vermont over three decades ago. Your Mom was lovely, and your Dad had the most wonderful smile. They were a beautiful couple. It was an honor to have known them. May the fond and loving memories you have of them give you comfort, strength, and peace during the difficult days ahead.
Sincerely,
Paul & Rosemary Schaeffer
