Hi Nick. Your family is a true admiration of what family means. I've known you since the first grade at St. George and remember all the cool things I thought about your family. You all are so close. Your dad certaintly had something to do with that. Keep believing in him and continue to help him guide you. You are a good man, husband, and father. My mom, Mary Brown, who passed away in 2003, told me great things about Marilyn and the kids when they went to Maple Elementary where she worked. Give my best to all of your family.
It's so hard to lose your parent that words can't describe.
Take care and keep the family going. That's what your dad would want.
Love,
Tracy Brown Bagnoche

Nick, Marilyn and Family,
My sincere sympathy for the loss of your dear father. What a long life he enjoyed! He raised 4 wonderful sons and look at all those grandchildren and great-grandchildren. I'm sure he was so proud to be the patriarch of the Papini family. Take care and well wishes from your classmate at St George and Cleveland High. Ardie Alonzo McLean
