To the Consalvo Family - So sorry to hear about your Dad. I have so many fond memories of him as I was growing up - he was always laughing and making others laugh. It was nice to grow up among the great circle of friends that our parents were a part of. Just a few years ago, your dad did a renewal of my parents' wedding vows at their 50th anniversary party. I know you will miss him terribly, but just think of the big party that is going on in heaven right now - he is reunited with your beloved mother and has lots of friends there. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
