I have so many fond memories of you at the Marini family gatherings. I wish you continued peace and joy with all our friends and family that share God's table. Please know that you along with Mom and Dad are in my prayers as I go on daily hikes. This is a time for me to clear my head, reflect on the blessings I have received, and to keep the memories of loved ones close to my heart. I remember you were an avid walker. Thank you for channeling your positive energy to keep me going. Rest In Peace.

Uncle Andy,
I remember being introduced to the family as "The New American" then being challenged with your home-made wine "test". How tough is it to drink delicious wine and stay standing? I thought. Next thing I recall I was being peeled off your hallway floor after a few too many sips. I was about to feel in trouble and embarrassed, but then everyone was SO understanding and said I had now been inducted and officially part of the family! Phew!
I will miss your welcoming smile and loving heart. May you rest in peace in Heaven now. Much love, Staci
