I can’t tell you how sorry I am to hear of Dorothy’s passing. I will always remember her warm smile and kindness and how she never minded Debbie and I taking over her kitchen to make chocolate chip cookies for the soccer team. I spent many hours at the Brusamonti home and they are some of the fondest memories of my childhood. Mr. Brusamonti, I am so sorry for your loss. Your wife was a very special lady. Danielle, Debbie, Deneen and Peter, my heart goes out to each of you. I know the pain of losing your mother, and there is none greater. Please know that I am thinking of all of you and keeping you in my prayers. I only wish I had found out sooner.
