Our hearts are with the entire Gilino family in the loss of your mother and grandmother. Although we never knew your mother, we knew she was a wonderful woman from the stories you have told us about her and from knowing the beautiful people her children/grandchildren have all become. We pray you will find comfort in knowing that your Mom, Dad and John are together again, wrapped in God's loving arms. With our deepest sympathy and love.
