My sincere condolences to the entire Mazzola family. Joe was a staple in our town and will be terribly missed. I loved chatting with him about East Boston and being Sicilian when I picked up my orders. My heart breaks for you all and I hope the wonderful memories of him carry you through this.

Dear Corrine,
I was so heartbroken to hear about your dad´s passing. I can only imagine how deep this loss must feel for you and your family. Please know that I´m holding you close in my thoughts and sending you all my love.
Your dad was such a part of the fabric of Tewksbury-Café Sicilia wasn´t just a restaurant, it was a community landmark. His warmth, his work ethic, and the love he poured into that place touched so many lives. I know his presence will be missed beyond measure.
We´ve shared so much-high school, college, a home, and years of laughter and growing pains. Even though life has taken us in different directions, I´ve never stopped loving you. You´ve always been strong, thoughtful, and full of grace, but I hope you know you don´t have to carry this grief alone. I´m here for you-for a call, a visit, or just to sit in silence if that´s what you need.
With all my heart and deepest sympathy,
Melissa
