Dear Lori,Jim, Stephanie and family members, I am writing to you to tell you how sorry I am for the loss of mother and grandmother. I am not sure if you remember me but my name is Lucille Ronchetti and my mother was Caroline. She and your mother were best friends for years and your mother was such an important member of my extended family. I have such wonderful memories of your mother and mine telling stories and laughing for hours and hours. Your mom was such a special person who for years shared many holidays and Sunday lunches with us. She and my mother were know for their practical jokes and always getting into "predicaments". One time, your mother convinced mine she could rewire a lamp for her. As she plugged in the newly rewired lamp, I remember seeing her fly across our kitchen, just as all our lights went out. Again, laughter is what prevailed as we attempted to get our electricity back on. Your mother was always invited to our family reunions and she was scheduled to come this past May but had other plans. She and I exchanged Christmas cards and notes and she always kept me informed of her great pride in her family, especially her new great-grandchildren. I was so sorry to hear of your mother's passing but want you to know that she will always be remembered with great love and affection. Sincerely, Lucille Ronchetti
