Dear Jeff, Jennifer, Doug, Toni, Carol and spouses, I was so sorry to hear about Gilbert's passing. So much of my growing up was at the Biondi house in Collinsville. We had lots of laughter and fun, some tears and always friendship. Gilbert never seemed to mind how many kids were just hanging around.I hope that memories keep you smiling and that you know he is now out of pain.Sending prayers.....Deb Horton Moder
