Domenica,

I am so sorry you lost your husband. When I met you on Delaware Avenue several years ago you told me of your marriage, and that you were very happy. May the happiness you felt then sustain you until you meet again. I know you were a good wife and that Luigi was a lucky man to have you. I hope all who read this know that and give you peace.

Mrs. Godino/Josie and family:

It was my great pleasure to have met the both of you this past winter. It reminded me of my childhood in NYC. Luigi was a kind and gracious host as we ate some of your delicious food and talked of days gone by.

Mrs. Godino I know that you have some wonderful children and step-children that will take good care of you just as Luigi would want.

Our prayers and thoughts are with you during this very difficult time.

May God Bless and Give You His Peace,
Tony and Jane Kennah

Domenica and Family,
You have been our neighbors and dear friends since we moved to Second Avenue. Lee and I will miss Luigi very much. I miss him walking around the block swinging his cane and me coming over on a summer night. I just feel lucky we were able to do that. He will always be in our hearts. Please remember if you need us we are just across the street.

Love you,
GG & Lee Roberts

Dear Anthony, Christine and Sandra:
Our heartfelt sympathy at the loss of your grandfather. Just remember he is now at peace and in the arms of your grandmother and father. Always remember the good times as the three of you were the sparkle of your Dad and Grandparents eyes. Remember the many holidays we spent together and think of all the people that have been taken from the holiday table over the years. I can only think they are looking down on us and anticipating our arrival so that we all can be together again. Remember Anthony you are the sole bearer of the Godino name for generations to come.
Love,
Bernice & Mike Sullivan

Forever your granddaughter,
Christine Godino Parkhurst
