The Colantuono Family your Husband (father) was the most gentle man I knew.He is now with God and Blessed Mother Mary. There is a quote I would like to pass on: I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love. Beth Linares
