Virginia,
I just learned of Nick's passing. You and your family should know how much he was appreciated by me and the Fatima Today crew. He was our most dedicated member. May he be resting in the arms of Our Lady and receiving the rewards due him for a life of service to her and the church. With sympathy and prayers,

Mr. Pizzella,
Sir, I didn't know you but I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the U.S. Army Air Forces during WW II and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
