Sadly, our most devoted friend ThelmaLu has died. After nearly 15 years of loyal friendship, Enzo and I had her euthanised yesterday in the Poconos. ThelmaLu’s remains will be cast on the waters and sand where she enjoyed her life the most. Spark (the bastard) ran away several years back and has reportedly been shacking up with another Flatbush family.

    Thanks Lidian.

    Anne, you knew her when she was a sprite young thing. She was just a shadow of her former self. How was Brasil? Missed you.

    I miss the fact she is not around anymore. I had not seen her since I left N.Y in 1996. She kept me so much company and danced any time I asked her to.
    I love you Frank and Vincenzo!
    your nice niece
