With love to all, Annmarie Piro Catino

Linda and family,
I was saddened to hear of the loss of your brother.
From what I have been reading it sounds like he was a great guy.
They say someone we love never really goes away. I believe that.
Keep the memory of his smile alive and rely on your family and friends at this trying time.
May he rest in peace.
