Dear Sophea and Phil,

In speaking with Walt Kissel today, he said that your father had passed away. Please accept my deepest sympathy to you and your family. May flights of angels sing him to his rest.

GOODBYE DEAR FRIEND! TRULY THE ANGELS IN HEAVEN ARE REJOICING TO HAVE YOU THERE. EVEN IN LIFE YOU WERE ALWAYS ENTERTAINING THOSE WHO LOVE THE LORD, AND A SPECIAL MANSION HAS PROBABLY BEEN WAITING FOR YOU.
MAY YOUR MEMORY BE ETERNAL! WE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU WITH MUCH LOVE. MARY & JOHN ALEXOUDIS

To the Duranti Family, Mr. Duranti was a friently, generous and loving man, dedicated to his family, his profession and his church. May he rest with the God he served so well.

Sophea, I was sorry to see the notice of your father's passing. I remember how hard he was always working, but unfailingly friendly when I met him (and you) at Rodger's Dairy - 30 years ago! Best wishes. Paul Bates

Sophea,
Terry and I were so sad to hear about your Father (my Mother sent me the notice). I always remember your Dad as being a very kind man, I know that you will greatly miss him. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Was it really so long ago that we played kickball in your back yard, waiting for your mother to whistle you indoors? God bless you all. My deepest sympathies for your loss. And may you be comforted by the sweet memories of your parents. You are in my thoughts and Prayers.

Dear Elaena,
I was visiting my parents in Wilkinsburg when I found out about your father. I'm so sorry to hear about your family's loss. We used to eat our lunch sometimes at your restaurant when we were in 5th or 6th grade. I'll pray for your family.
