Dear cousin Betty, my deepest condolences to you. You and cousin Frank held a special place in my heart since I was a child, cousin Frank would help me fly my kite and do all the things that a father would do with a child when I spent sleepovers at your house when Aunt Lucy was still alive. My favorite part of the weekend believe it or not is when cousin Frank would always read to me the sword in the stone at bedtime and it is still one of my favorite childhood stories to this day. May his soul rest in peace And may you forever cherish the memories that you have made with your husband of 60 years ,Think of all those good times that you both shared ,for you have been so fortunate to have been blessed with someone who has loved you for eternity. Love always , and my sincerest condolences , cousin Clifford Mascia
