George Ferrero and family,
My heart broke upon hearing the terribly sad news concerning the loss of your wife. Tina was as beautiful on the inside as she was on the outside. I still remember like it was yesterday, although it was almost 35yrs ago, George proudly introducing Tina to me. I can still see the look on George’s face and the beautiful smile on Tina’s and thinking to myself, “George is gonna marry this woman”!
As incredibly difficult as these days must be for the family, I know without any doubt exactly where Tina has gone, that she is no longer suffering, and that we will see her again very soon!
May God Bless you all and may his comfort surround you at this sad time.
