Dear Richard, Stephen,Donna,Nick,Pauline and all the Marchenese and Passalacqua extended families..
Our deepest condolences to you all on the recent passing of Mary. I cherish meeting you all back in 2004 after such a long time since our first contact made back in the early 1960's by Madeleine and Armand with our family when they visited my mom and dad in Toronto... My grandmother was a Defrancesco and therein lies the link we Nicolini's have with the Marchenese family. It was indeed a pleasure meeting Mary and Dick and all of you in Geneva 8 years ago. Mary represented to me the grandmother that I never knew. Our faith in everlasting life binds us together today. I am sure my grandmother is welcoming Mary today as Mary welcomed me in 2004. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all ....Hope to see you all in the not too distant future.......
