Dear Ella, Michael and Zemeria, Anna May and I were totally saddend when we heard about Anthony's passing. We knew he was ill for awhile, but had no idea how serious the sickness was. You know we all loved Anthony and the fun that we all had when we were on our winter vacations in Mexico and the Carribbean. We know that he will be greatly missed by all your family.

He was a very good friend and fellow Italian and I had many funny times with him speaking Abuzzazi and me speaking Sicilian. We had many laughs over that.

I know that he is happy and at peace now with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

May his soul and the souls of all our faithfully departed, rest in peace.

Dear Zemira and family,

I am so sorry to hear about your dad. I know how difficult it is to lose a parent you are close with. If there is anything I can do, please contact me. I hope you find comfort in the words below. It helped me with my dad,

When I Must Leave You

When I must leave you for a while- Please do not grieve and shed wild tears And hug your sorrow to you through the years.
But start out bravely with a galiant smile. And for my sake and in my name Live on and do all things the same.
Feed not your loneliness on empty days. But fill each waking hour in useful ways. Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer. And I in turn will comfort you and hold you near;
And never, never be afraid to die, For I am waiting in the sky!

I hope this keeps.
