Amo Due Cose Te E La Rosa La Rosa Per Un Giorno Te Per Sempre The children of the late Vincenzo Mannella would like to extend a sincere heartfelt gratitude for all the expressions of sympathy, through prayer, mass cards, sympathy cards, phone calls, emails, texts, gift cards, monetary gifts, beautiful floral arrangements, fruit baskets and food from our dear aunts, uncles, cousins, godparents, friends, neighbours and co-workers. Our hearts have been overwhelmed by many donations to the Alzheimer society research in memory of our beloved father. A very special thank you to all our aunts and uncles for the lovely floral arrangements that brightened up the room and for all their love and support during this difficult time.
