   I met Vinny in 1975, when I applied for a job at the PBA in Ft. Lauderdale, & he was the Assistant Manager. We got along so well, I knew I had the job.
   We became close, fast friends, & I got to know him for 3 months.
   When I was laid off, I didn’t see him for 45 years.
   I saw him on Facebook & requested his friendship.
   We began corresponding. After Michelle passed away, he asked me to come to visit. He said he was depressed, & so I did.
   I didn’t realize that he was so different, after his stroke, & the grief, & many things that occurred in his life…
   His last dog disappeared after Michelle passed away.
   So we went & got a little Puppy. The Puppy became the center of Vinny’s world.
   I had a hard time in those days, because he was so unhappy, & it seemed he thought I could change that, but we can’t change another person’s happiness or not… & for this reason, I never went back to Staten Island.
   I have beautiful memories of the time we spent in 1975, I will keep all the days of my life.
   And he will be in my Prayers now & Always
   In Jesus’s Love
   & mine,
   Linda
