To Sam & Alex,My thought are of you and your mother, Carolyn, as the news of her passing settles over me. Basically, your mom was super cool. And much more than that too. Her friendliness, hospitality, and honest conversations were evident every time I had the pleasure of being in her company. Many years have gone by since I last saw your mother, but the memories of her are not that distant. She made a lasting impression and will continue to do so through the fond memories that will always remain. Sending my love and thoughts in your direction, wherever that may be.Sincerely,David Belfiglio
Dear Sam, We would all like you to know that we stand by you and we send all of our hopes for comfort and care for you and your family. While we did not have the good fortune to know your mother in person, we know her at least partially through you, your work, and your character. In this way she has had an incredible influence on the world, and on each of us. Nadia, Anna, Jimena, Aneta, and Sarah
