Renee AlfanoDear Dino, Cindy and Suzy, I am so sorry to hear about Aunt Vivian’s passing. Our fondest memories of her are when we visited her and Uncle Archie at the holidays. We miss that. She was the strongest person I’ve ever known. She has endured so much over the years and now I pray that she is at peace and amongst those that have all passed before and are welcoming her with open arms. I am sorry that I will not be able to attend her funeral and to give my condolences in person; I am having surgery today. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Love you all. Renee and Gino Alfano
