Memories and Condolences
for Ron Giacoletto

Not sure what to say?





One thing I thought was awesome about your dad was how much he loved having girls. He was amazing with each of you and I could always tell he loved you, supported you and was proud of whatever choices you made. I have a different sort of relationship with my dad and I recall thinking you three were lucky girls.

He was an amazing guy and I could tell that, even just the few times I met him, but also because you three are all smart, beautiful, confident and savvy women.

My heart and thoughts are with you. Hugs.
