Not sure what to say?

Abbiamo appreso della triste notizia solo oggi. Circa venti anni fa Joseph è venuto in Italia a trovarci. Abbiamo passato con lui due settimane e lo abbiamo portato in Sicilia a mostrargli il paese d'origine della sua e nostra famiglia. Persona speciale. Un abbraccio alla famiglia dai cugini italiani Giletto Sebastiano, Michele e Marco We only learned of the sad news today. About twenty years ago Joseph came to Italy to visit us. We spent two weeks with him and took him to Sicily to show...

One of the nicest men I have ever met, a real gentleman and such a good husband and father. Always was good with conversation and the ability to make you feel you had his complete attention. He will be missed but know God has a special place in Heaven for him. He and Mary were a great couple but she will go on with memories to last a lifetime of their time together until they are reunited in Heaven one day.

My deepest sympathy to the Giletto Family for the loss of your loved one, Joseph, and pray God gives you comfort, peace and strength during this difficult time. 2nd Thessalonians 2:16-17.

I was very upset when Mary told me of Joe’s death. I haven’t seen him for quite a while but he was the sweetest, funniest person, kind & friendly. May you be comforted in the Lord’s arms.♥
