Dearest Carmela, Alfonso Dom & family,
We have all been coming to your delicious restaurant for many years. You were the only ones who catered my kids parties and they always asked for the special garlic rolls you would make for my son who couldn´t eat cheese..olive oil and fresh garlic...because of you guys my son now makes them and always thanks your son for helping him. Mondo´s smile was of course mg favorite and your hugs Alfonso ..I bought the same cologne you would wear for my brother. We became close friends your son. I would continue to hear over and over how proud he was of his parents, & how he wanted to make his own place loved and happy like yours. He was seriously something else and what a cutie! I´m missing him deeply and can´t imagine the horrific pain you´re all going through. I´m sick over it and so sad to lose such a shinning light so early b4 he could have his dreamy family and kids he told me he wanted. I love u all and sending you healing powerful prayers. Last night was beautiful/the love and so many hundreds rolling in to pay their respects to your fine son/brother.
