Dear Carmela and Family,
We know that Guy is looking down on his wonderful family, knowing how much we all cared for him.
He was truly a "Special" cousin to me. Remembering our childhood days, fishing, swimming, and especially always laughing. Those memories are always an indelible presence in my mind.
I shall never forget him. I wish you Carmela loving peace. I know how you made him so comfortable his last days. I thank God that I was able to speak to him for the last time a few weeks before his passing.
I loved him dearly.
With Sadness
Love
Sammy Di Salvo

Carmela: It is with sadness that I read of your loss in the newspaper. And I can with true feeling tell you that I understand what you are going through, since I also lost my husband after a long illness. My thoughts and my prayers are with you and with your family.
Love, Mirian M. Grosso

Dear Carmela and Family

Ron and I are so sorry to read about your loss. Guy was a great person and we enjoyed our years as friends when you lived here in Miami. We wondered where you had moved. Please know that we are thinking of you at this time and remembering Guy with love.

I don't mean to intrude during your time of sorrow, but I wonder if we are related as Di Salvo is my last name too. My Great grandparents were Maria & Ignazio and lived in Brooklyn.
I am sorry for your loss just the same.
