Carol and Linda - guys my heart is breaking over the news of your Dad's passing. Cal was like a second father to me, we all had so much fun together - the midnight trips for ice cream down the beach - I still remember all those wonderful times. The memories you all have of your Dad will help you get through this difficult time. To the entire Laurenza family - my thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Girls, I'm only a phone call away if you need anything. All my love, Evelyn
