I will remember Mrs. Affinito as a sweet and friendly lady with a bright, infectious and slightly mischievous smile. Although I didn’t know Mrs. Affinito very well I had the pleasure of traveling with her and also spending some holidays together. While she was warm and kindly I observed enthusiasm for social activity, exploring new places and spending time with others, especially her family. Like all of those we love and who bring joy to our lives, I am sure Mrs. Affinito will be greatly missed by those who were so blessed to have her in their lives.
