To the Nigro Family,

Words can't express my sorrow at your loss. I remember Mr. Nigro, as I called him, so fondly. My Mom is struggling with progressive supranuclear palsy so sadly I can relate to the sad journey you all took with your beloved father and husband. Know that he is free from his struggle and watches over you all with love.
