I went to your favorite spot on the beach today and laid a rose and watched the waves take it out to sea just like you asked. Gone but never forgotten.

My love and condolences go out to Marsha and Dino's family. Dino was always a sweet gentleman. Always treated me with respect and caring. Know that he is warm, free of discomfort and loved in the loving arms of the Lord. Rest in peace Dino

So sorry to hear of your loss. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers. May God give you strength during this difficult time.
