SKF NOTE: Jean Morello, Joe’s wife, was a gracious person. I imagine Joe Morello‘s life would have been much different without her. I don’t know for sure, but I am willing to bet the handwritten Christmas signature is Jean’s. The yellowing on the card inside is where I had taped the card to the wall.

Some family and friends can’t understand why I save personal items like Christmas cards. That’s okay. I save personal items like Christmas cards anyway. They always carry good memories.
