To the Salvatore family,

I was deeply saddened to hear of Rocco's passing. I remember most the warmth of his personality, his friendliness and kindness. He was so like his mother! May God grant him eternal rest and peace and I pray, Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon him!
With sympathy and love,

Mary (Navarro) & John D. Bellino

Dearest Angelina and Michael. I am so sorry for the grief that the two of you are going through. You were both the love of daddy's life. I'm sure he'll be looking down on you and smiling at his beautiful children.

To all my loving cousins, Michael and Angelina. Words cannot express the pain AND Joy I feel for all of you. Joy in that Rocco is being lead by Mom and Dad (and Auntie Kate and Uncle Gennarie) to a very peaceful place with our Lord.
Can't wait to get together to share stories and pics, in your time, not mine.
Love and Prayers for all of you
