Dear Diana & all of Art's family,
I was blessed to witness your love together when you moved to Lima and I was able to visit. Art was the first person I knew who stood up at his desk to work. This may seem an odd statement, but I thought Art a very healthy, smart & forward thinking man. You continued the Corrello family July 4th picnics. The fireworks were added bonus. My heart goes out to all the family. I hope my words/memories might leave a little smile as well. Xxxooo

Dad, you were my rock and my inspiration. You have given me many gifts which I will keep with me for the rest of my life.
You taught me by example to take pride in whatever I do, to seek out education and make my own decisions. You showed me how to impact lives in a positive way. Your light and legacy will live on in those you have touched.
We love you and miss you.
