What can anyone say, its times like this that brings family and friends together.The old man would of liked that, to know that everyone got together because of him.He was a good man,I am sure that his family has got a big bear hug on him now.All I can tell you from what I learned from santo dying is what a preacher told me. Where they are at they dont want to come back.Its hard to except that,but you have to.You just have to adjust your life, and go on.A day dont go by that I wish santo was still here, but its a good feeling knowing where he is at.I bet gene and santo both are standing side by side looking at us now.I know that it hurts, but you have to deal with it.They are not suffering we are, thats the hard part. love ya ernie sam
