Like so many others, the life of Robert Rizza was shared with me through the blog of his daughter Bert. What a testament to the love of a daughter for her father and mother.
Thoughts, prayers and much love,
Patty

I've gotten to know Bert, her dad and her family through Bert's blog, and am so sorry to hear her dad is gone.
Your family's story has reached people far beyond Wallingford, Connecticut, and has touched hundreds going through similar difficulties.
My thoughts are with you.
