Sometimes we know it is coming from illness and sometimes from old age. As parents we expect our children to out live us but unfortunately that is not always the case.We protect our children fromwhen they are babies and try to keep them out of harms way but it sometimes is not enough. They may succumb to their own demons brought on by depression or other reasons. It does not make the loss any less hurtful. What does hurt is when a child who has yet to experience their first crush or kiss suddenly is snapped away fromus. For some unknown reason they become ill and suddenly as a parent you are helpless. We sometimes take life for granted never realizing how precious it truly is. One need only to walk over to the Children’s Hospital to be humbled and understand this. With that being said I would like to extend our condolences to the Feudo Family. Retired Sargent DetectiveTony Feudo’s granddaughter, Sabrina L. Feudo, who is also the niece of Police Officer Michael Mattera, was lost at the age of eleven to a sudden illness. Our deepest sympathy to the parents Jackie and Michael Feudo. On behalf of the Feudo Family and the Boston Police Department, in particular District-7, I would like to thank theWin- throp Police Department for the respect and dignity shown in this families time of grief. Special thanks toChiefTerenceM. Delehanty and his staff for closing down the streets during the wake and funeral procession. Many of these fineWinthrop Officers have families and felt devastated by this loss. The whole town ofWinthrop needs to thanked as well for showing up and waiting in line to pay their respects to a special little girl. To all who helped in this families time of grief thank you so kindly. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Feudo Family. C arole l und r.e.
