You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Leone and family,
The loss of a precious loved one is never easy to bear, even if they lived a long, wonderful life, as it appears your mother did. May you find peace and comfort in reliving the many moments you spent with her when she was on earth, and in knowing that she will live on in your hearts forever.

When I read Mr. Sabatine’s obituary in the Lancaster Newspaper, I was saddened to see that the family needed to endure the decline and loss of a loved one. As I read, I thought, "Oh, no. And Anna too? How did I miss that?" Only to realize the next day that her passing was ever so recent, and that I truly "missed it" by neglecting to stay in closer contact.
I carry fond memories of the few times that we spoke and interacted and must admit that she was actually never far from my thoughts having made such a strong impression those times that I met her here in Lancaster.
I hope that you will accept my condolences and most sincere sympathy for the loss of your loved ones in such a short span. And for the passing of this very special lady who was ever so kind to me.
Sincerely,
Sandy Yecker
