My heart goes out to my Aunt Josie and my cousins Donna and Denise.
He was very nice when I was a kid.
Even though I have not seen him in years I was very sad to hear about his death. I will keep him in prayers. My love to all.
Your Neice

We will always remember the kind and gentle quiet that was Santo. I always enjoyed speaking with him and truly appreciated his sense of humor. Although the years brought some of us further apart geographically, we never felt far apart in our thoughts. Please accept deepest condolences from myself and my parents. My father - Vinny Cella - does not have internet and as you know my mom - Liz - is incapable of speaking. However, I am speaking for my parents whom I know have shared many great moments with Santo. Please know he will be missed.
Love, Nancy Langley, and Vinny and Liz Cella

My Dearest Uncle
You helped to fill a void in my heart..
You are a very special person.. I so enjoyed the talks we had, you were able to answer some questions I had about my Father & his youth .. I thank you for that ... I also Thank you for one of the most memorable days in my life when we went to the Yankee game together We had nose bleed seats but who cared it was just as you would say"FANTASTIC"
I might not have been as close to you for many years but the last few years made up for that I hope. My visits to the hospital were special to me.
I know you are in Heaven right now
hangin out with my Dad working on cars, maybe you will see Uncle Tony too & start up a game of cards.
You respected my Mom in her widowed years & I thank you for that too She loved you like a brother. Say hi to her too for me when you see her.
I love you very much!!!!
Don't worry about Aunt Josie I will do my part to do what i can to take care of her, As for Donna & Denise they are working together to get thing done the way you want them to.
Ok so the hole in my hear is bigger again, The thing that keeps me going is knowing that we will be together again Once agan I love you & miss you already
Love your Neice
Maria
