Mary,
I just wanted to write and tell you that you and Angelo are always in our
thoughts and prayers. I'm so sorry that you have to watch him go through
all this. Our hearts ache for him and for you. Remember, if you ever feel
lonely, that we are really all there with you too. All my love and prayers
for your family.
Martha
