To the DiPanfilo Family,
My father, Steve Cardinale, was a close friend to both your mom and dad. Many years ago, I remember coming to visit during the fisherman feast, and throwing confetti off the roof of "the club". I remember your mom as always being happy, friendly, and kind. She always pinched my cheeks, and made me feel loved. My father is now in a nursing home, but has many fond memories of your parents. We would both like to send our condolences, along with my aunt and uncle, Grace and Tony Federico. She was a special woman.

To Diane, Frankie, Lenny & Gina...my deepest, deepest condolences to you and your families. Rosie was like a mother to me growing up with all of you. I remember all the good times at dinner every night around the table, and especially during the Holidays. She is with Tally now, and always in your hearts!
