July 2, 2014

Dear Sanfilippo Family, we're so sorry to hear about Mario.I'm also sorry that I wasn't able to attend the services due to the lack of amount of people needed at work;or else I would have been one of the first,if not, the very first one there. He was such a good man. May he rest in peace; and may the good Lord continue to bless you all during this difficult time.Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Sincerely, Jerry Corona and Family
