Susan and Carmelo,
Thinking of you during your time of sorrow. Know that the love shared and the grace and mercy of God will comfort you. I hope that with each passing day your heart hurts a little less and the beautiful memories of times spent fill that empty void. Honor your father by remembering he departed this earthly world with your love and hopes of seeing him again. May the love & grace of God continue to bless and keep you. Stay strong and know that this too shall pass.

To Susan And Carmelo,
My prayers are with you at this difficult time. I know you will extremely miss your Dad/grandpa. But you also have been blessed all these years to have been so close to him. Those loving memories are something you will keep and treasure the rest of your life. Your Dad/grandpa will also continue to share with you his love, guidance, and prayers from heaven.
May his soul rest in peace.
May God give you comfort and strength.

To Rich and the Entire Lamancusa Family, sorry to hear about your Dad....a wonderful man whom I have a lot of great memories of. He truly understood many cherished values that seem lost today, and he instilled them in all of you.
Hoping that all of you can smile and laugh at the many great moments you shared, and I hope we see all of you soon.

Susan and Carmelo, You are in my thoughts during a difficult time. Knowing how much you love your parents and the closeness you share will in time, make you smile each time a certain word is spoken, a memory of a special day or a joke you shared. May all the special memories help ease the emptiness.

Al and my Dad (Tony Marton) were more like family than Business associates back in the Days of Wilkinson Co. He alway had the biggest smile on his face and could make you laugh at the drop of a hat! He was the best person in the organization to work for! You will be missed. God Bless Olive and all your family. Your Presence in Heaven will surely be a bright one!
