Dear Marie,
I am offering my deepest sympathy on the passing Of our great Nephew Bobbie. Although it is little consolation at this sad time, it should be of some satisfaction to know that in his passing you can celebrate the end of a very long and productive life.
The measure of a life well-lived is not in how much money one has or what possessions they have accumulated, but rather through the lives they touched and the sorrow they leave behind. If the outpouring of sympathy on his loss is any indication, and it most certainly is, you can proudly and confidently say that his life indeed was a life well-lived.
May you find peace and comfort in knowing that his loss is felt by all who knew and loved him.
May He rest in Peace with his Uncle Sam!
Aunt Connie Covello, and All the Covello Cousins.
