Dear Bodanza family,

Chris and I were classmates as young children. I have fond memories of him, playing baseball together, riding the bus to school and what stands out the most, are all the times he made me laugh. Even at a tender age Chris made people around him feel at ease, a good friend. My deepest sorrow to all friends and family.

I am saddened to hear of the loss of such a young man, and I send my deepest condolences to all of Chris' family and friends. Please know that you are in the thoughts and prayers of the Holy Cross Community.

Dear Michele and Family,

I'm so sorry for your sudden loss and a cousin's passing. Me and my family send our sincere condolences to the Bodanza family. Words cannot describe my emotions when I was told by my mother (Nancy Bodanza Kelly) about this unexpected news. My Godfather Uncle Joe will also will be in my prayers and Joey Jr.

The Niles family sends all their love and comfort during these difficult times as I experienced last year with my father's passing. The Bodanza family was a blessing in disguise helping me cope with my loss. That's what is great about this family, and I'm blessed to be part of it, due to their love and compassion they show each other during these tough times. The heavens above will always look over you and Taylor. A star is now shining down over us each night we go to bed .



Love,
