Franco and family-
Please accept my deepest sympathy, I remember your dad well, from the time I was young visiting my grandmother on Woodbridge St., to when I was an adult he always greeted me with a smile of recognition. He was a very dedicated and proud man.

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

My sympathy is extended to fellow cable show host Michael and to his family in the passing of Mr. Cristofaro. I will remember his role in history and will teach my children and grandchildren to respect others by sharing his tale. What a treasure we have lost.
