I knew Mr. Savona to always love his children. His daughter Rosie was like our third daughter and I'm sure our Audrey was like one of his own as well. We will all truly miss him. May he rest in peace.

To The Savona Family,
We can't help but think of Nic without a smile on our face. He was like a father to me, who lived life to its fullest. He had a heart of gold and his family meant the world to him. If you were lucky to know him, you became part of his family. We will miss him very much but will remain in our hearts. We love you Nic.
God Bless,

Angela, Nick, Franca, Rosaria, Benedetta and families,
we are close to you in this time of sorrow. Nicasio to us was a very good friend with a great generosity. When we played cards he said:
(..you must know the way to loose because not all the times you can win. ) He was right. We missed him. May God give to you comfort and to him Eternal Peace.
Love. Gaetano e Maria
