"I am saddened to learn of Mrs. Dalti's passing. I was away at the time of her passing. I will always appreciate her and Mr Dalti's friendship over the many years. Having served with Mr. Dalti in 1977 as a member of the School Committee. Her passing leaves another hole in the history of North Smithfield as a TRUE supporter of NS. She was always kind to keep in touch and wish me the best every time I saw her or woul post on social media. My deepest condolences on her passing to the entire family."
