Nancy, I can't believe he's gone! But I do believe he's having pasta & meatballs, watching the GAME, playing cards and getting scatch tickets with his family & friends.
I think he's watching over you and he will NEVER be far away!
I can't see him anymore but he will always be in my heart!
I love you!

Dear Nancy, it was only a week or so after I visited with you and Sal that he passed away. He was a dear gentle man and I am pleased I was able to give him and you a warm hug. You truly are a dear loving person and took such great care of Sal. Know you will miss him, but, your loving memories of the years you were together will be forever. Please let us know if we can do anything for you. Love and prayers, Laurie & Paul Savage

Dear Nancy

So sorry to read about Sonny. Makes me remember the fun and joking around he and Jerry enjoyed so much. Those were the good old days. What a guy your Sal was and you are a star.
Best,

Dear Nancy,

There are no words to adequately describe the sorrow I feel for you and all the family at the loss of Sonny. Such a great guy. So much fun and so very caring about everyone.

I have a heart full of wonderful memories of time spent with him and Bob and you. From the Sports Bars in Vegas to our crazy, fun times at Thistledown. I will never forget.

I hope it is of some comfort for you to know that so many of your friends share in your loss.

Please know that you and Sonny and all of The Aprile Family are in my thoughts and prayers. Just remmember; he only walked on ahead, and you will see him again.

God bless.

Nancy, I know Jackie and I spoke to you last night while you were over at My sister's house but I have to tell you that we just loved Sal and thought the world of him ( and you of course!) We always looked forward to spending time with you folks when we came to visit Paula and Don! Sal was larger than life!! I remember seeing him for the first time! He was in a white terry cloth bathroom and I think he just got back from the spa (or something like that)! I thought "Who is that big shot movie producer?" Paula told us it was Sal!!! Sal- "the gentle giant!" Hope you come to visit us in Y-town soon! Lots of hugs & kisses!! Georgeann Pavlinic
