| | | To Daphne and family,
I didn''t realize how much I missed Roberta until I went up to the Dance Studio this year and she wasn''t there for me to talk to....we had so much fun having our little chats !! I can''t even tell you the feeling I feel inside when I''m their. I missed her this summer/fall walking by my house with the kids. She would always make mention of my flowers. I wanted to let you know I''m thinking of her and she will be missed so very much. Please take care of yourself and cherish the memories. | | | Posted by: Betsy Cesarini | Email: bcesarini@anaren.com | Monday, January 25, 2010 | | |
