    Dear Paula, Bill and I would like to express our deepest sympathy for the loss of Marco. We hope that your wonderful memories of him will bring you comfort and peace. I feel blessed to have known Marco, whose cooking, good humor and homemade wine made for wonderful Sunday afternoons around your kitchen table with Frank. Both of you made me feel welcome, whether at your home or at Piccolo Piccolo, and I cherish my memories of those years. We are thinking of you and offer our prayers.
