Hello Cousin Melba, just letting you know I am thinking about you.
I remember the last time I was up there and how Angelo went through his family history. It was so nice to see his eyes light up as he spoke of his family.
I remember the time my family came up at harvest time and how Angelo took us out to get those "special" grapes. Those grapes were like eating pearls of honey. Needless to say we were sent home with a truck load of Thompson seedless grapes, the best in the world!
Also I can't forget the big lunch you put out for us, I have never seen so much food in one place!
Angelo will be truly missed but I feel blessed to have shared a little time with him.
If ever you need anything Melba let me know.
Love to you and the whole DiBuduo family. Jerry Reynolds II
