    Rose, Donna, Diane, Debbie and families. My deepest sympathy in the loss of Lew. I was fortunate to grow up with your family next door. Even as we got older, you couldn't get rid of me. I have so many great memories of things from parties to vacations. Please let me know if you need anything. Love to all, Stephanie Romanelli
