My dearest Linda,
If I told you how many times I have started this note in my head, you would giggle. It is difficult to find the words to express how one could make one of your biggest dreams come true in a matter of hours. I believe that every little girl dreams of a magical wedding day, one straight out of the movies. For Francesca, my daughter, you delivered that and more! It was a day full of love and celebration in the most beautiful setting. When we started to plan this day, there was no question that we wanted to spend it at Stroudsmoor. Mary & Jim Shiffert, Michael’s parents, were impressed by the tasting, but still had no idea what May 3rd, 2025, would look like. I on the other hand, knew exactly what the finished product would look like – or so I thought…One gift after another, one exciting surprise followed by what? An ice cream truck?? Simply amazing! Danny & I were in awe of what you did for all of us. When people ask how the day went, my response – simply magical!
From the bottom of my heart, I thank you.
– Michelle Goffredo Catino
