    My dear Padua classmate, I was stunned to read about your death in Sunday's News Journal. Just before I left for Lewes for a week, you, Susie and I had planned to have lunch at Stanley's, until the weather disagreed with us. Now I wish we hadn't cancelled so I could have enjoyed your company one more time before God called you home. I will miss you, dear friend. Our Padua lunches won't be the same without you.

    Gina, may you rest in peace. You were like a second Mom to me and we have so many fond memories of you and all of those Thanksgivings with you and Cary! We will never forget you and all of those fun times in Dewey. Your smile will be with us all forever. Cary, our thoughts and prayers are with you. I know how much your Mom loved you. You were everything to her. I hope you can always take comfort in that. Best wishes, Shawn.
