Dec. 18 will mark the first anniversary of a mother-and-son surgery that removed 65 percent of the right lobe of a Norwich man’s liver to save the life of his mother.
Cassie (Fontaine) Grillo and her son Marlon Delgado had the surgery at Lahey Hospital and Medical Center in Burlington, Mass.
“She gave me life, and I gave it back to her,” said Marlon.
Cassie, originally from Taftville, graduated from Norwich Free Academy in 1973. Marlon graduated from NFA in 1996, and he and his dad Ron Delgado of Norwich were both NFA athletes.
