A car picked her up and took her into Manhattan, where they dined and he popped the question. That's the way Vince did things. N.J. She awoke at 7 a.m. to walk her dog. Her father and one of her bosses from the Parkside School called her early that morning to check on her. She went to the gym, cleaned the carriage house in Essex Fells, N.J., where she lives, and shopped for groceries.
Some days are nightmares.
She drove to Gates of Heaven, the cemetery in nearby East Hannover where Vince is buried. Vince's family still had not bought a marker, but Marisa knew where the grave was by heart. She brought a bouquet and placed it there on the grass. Selecting the flowers was easy. For Vince, she chose red roses.
