Dear Silvana and family,
Words are not enough to express the sadness I feel for you.
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal,
love leaves a memory no one can steal.
It's hard to understand why people are taken from us. May you find comfort in knowing you were a special part of his life. May you find peace in your memories.
You have my most heartfelt sympathies for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.
Love & prayers, mm

Guy was a wonderful human being. When working for him at Sears, he taught me the meaning of responsibility and hard work. In addition, he and Virginia were great friends of my parents. I am sorry that Cindy and I can not be present to share in the celebration of his life. Our thoughts and prayers are with Virginia, Silvana and Brittany.
