David’s Dream and Believe Cancer Foundation would like to extend our deepest sympathy to Joyce, Jill, Kristin and the rest of the Panzone family with the passing of Frank Panzone. Frank and the rest of the family have been one of the biggest supporters of our little cancer foundation since day one. We would not have been able to help over 50 families in just 2 years without their tremendous support. We wish we were not in a position be a recipient of a memorial tribute donation from the Panzone family but we are truly honored to accept donations in memory of Frank. DD&BCF will inform the Panzone family of every donation made on behalf of Frank as well as every gift contribution the Foundation makes thanks to the generosity of their family and friends. God Bless!
Below is from Jillian Panzone:
A memorial service for Frank Panzone will be held on Monday, December 3, 2012 at 11 am at St. Mary of the Pines in Manahawkin, NJ. In lieu of flowers, memorial tributes may be made in Frank’s honor to David’s Dream & Believe Cancer Foundation, 28 Magnolia Road, Manahawkin, NJ 08050 or St. Francis of Assisi Parish or St Francis Center 4700 Long Beach Boulevard Brant Beach, NJ 08008 (*we are parishioners of St.Francis, due to devastation of Hurricane Sandy, the mass will be held at St. Mary of the Pine’s)
We want to wish everyone a Very Happy Thanksgiving. We know that so many of our friends and supporters have been affected by hurricane sandy and our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. We remain in constant contact with those patients burdened by the financial strains of a cancer diagnosis as well as those families now dealing with the affects of hurricane sandy on top of a cancer diagnosis.
David’s Dream and Believe Cancer Foundation is based on the core beliefs of kindness, generosity of spirit, faith, hope and love. We have seen so many shining examples of these beliefs within our community during this most difficult time that it only inspires us to reach even greater heights for those friends and neighbors struggling right now.
DD&BCF is blessed and thankful for YOU!
Happy Thanksgiving!
