To the Ferranto Family,
So many years of friendship (since high school), so many
years of playing canasta (since high school), so many wonderful memories that our card club shared. What fun and fellowship over the years did we share! I am so sorry for the loss of my friend, Retta, and I know her whole family will miss her.
