Prayers to the family. Some of our fondest memories were times spent with my family many mornings at Frannie’s enjoying a great breakfast, my mom and aunt always enjoyed rose coming to sit and talk while . My wedding was catered by them back in 79 and my family (parents) knew many of the DiMambro Family members during their years of growing up and living near here in Woburn.
RIP
Dear Francis, Jennie and Annie,
So so very sorry for your loss. She was such a loving and caring person. I will cherish our times together with Jimmy and Dom and all the laughs we shared at Foxwoods. My prayers are with all of you.
Love, Rosemary Calautti
