Uncle Bob, Karen, Joe, Greg, Julie, Beth and families, My condolences to the Cascio family. I have very fond memories of Aunt Mari, from her kindness, sense of humor and fun-loving spirit to her beautiful handwriting. May you find comfort in all your memories and know that you will feel her presence in your lives ahead. I'm sure Mari and Alice are having a great reunion right now. Love to all.
Our deepest sympathies to Uncle Bob, Karen, Joe, Greg, Beth and all your families. Aunt Mari was a very beautiful woman, full of life and humor and love. May you gain strength from the support of family and friends and the knowledge that we are all much better for having Mari in our lives. The Skibbens family reunion is just beginning with Vince and Julia and Alice and Mari. Our thoughts and prayers and love are with you.
