I am writing this on behalf of Linda Rapisarda: To Marvel, Nancy, Mary and Dennis: Your mom and dad and I used to be great friends. I came out and brought my dad with me when Carrie was born. Your mom is surely up there now. She was a great friend. Linda
She will be greatly missed. Her smile was contagious. Deepest sympathies to the whole family.
