Not sure what to say?

I am sending to Lena and Frank my deepest sympathies to both of you and your family. I knew your Dad since I was a little girl,and always was very fond of him. He was very kind and caring man, a great Dad and Husband. My mom and dad, and your mom are happy to see in the gates of Heaven.

My Uncle Jack was such a loving, selfless, kind hearted man. Whenever there was a party, we could always rely on our Uncle Jack to deliver a speech about the person or persons with whom the party was for. Just like all of his famous speeches, everything Uncle Jack did always came from his heart. I will miss you Uncle Jack and my grandmother will too but I know you are at peace and having fun in heaven with the one person who always knew how to always have fun, Aunt Jennie!

While we may miss Jack on Earth, we know he is happy in Heaven with his lovely bride Jennie. We will remember you fondly and toast you with a cold beer.

My brother was the best brother in the world! He was loving, caring and was always there no matter when we needed him. In 78 years we never had a misunderstanding. We will all miss him tremendously. May God Hold You In The Palm Of His Hand. Love Your Sister, Mary

My Uncle Jack was such an incredible man and a wonderful Uncle. He was such a loving and kind hearted man. Whenever we had a big party, you could always rely on my Uncle Jack to make a big speech about the person or persons with whom the party was for. Just like his speeches, everything he always did came from his heart, and I will never forget everything he did for my grandmother who loved him so much. I know Uncle Jack is at peace with his bride, my Aunt Jennie. I Love You Uncle Jack...

While it hurts so much that Jack is gone from this world, it makes us happy to know he is with his beloved bride Jenny in Heaven. You will be missed and we will drink a Budweiser in you honor.

We've had the pleasure of knowing the Riggitano family for many years and express our deepest sympathy at this time. Mr. Riggitano was such a wonderful, gentle man, and he will be missed by so many. Godspeed to your lovely wife Jenny. Love, Raffi & Diane Khatchikian

I have known Mr. Riggitano for many years, since Lena and I were young children. He and Mrs. Riggitano were always very kind and gracious to me, and they welcomed me into their home on many, many occasions. I know that your heart is breaking, Lena and Frank, but please find consolation in the fact that he was a wonderful man, very fondly remembered by all.
