Dear Mrs. Cibelli, Angela, Phil, & the rest of the family,

May these words of condolence bring comfort in this time of loss. Mr. Cibelli was a good man who was truly loved by those who were priviledged to have known him.

When we were kids, he let us know who the adult was. When we were men, he let us see he was young at heart.

Not one for many words, I remember this exchange on the telephone.

"Hi Mr. Cibelli is Phil home?"
"No." Click.

Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

David, Suzie & Max Leavitt
