To Sylvia, Vanya and Andrea:

On behalf of my parents, Bob and Gloria Perrella and my siblings, I would like to extend our most sincere condolences on the death of your husband and father. My parents always spoke very highly of him. He was blessed by God with his gift of writing and shared it with many. By doing so, his legacy will live on. Unfortunately, my parents are not well enough to pay their respects in person but they hope that the words I have shared with you today will bring comfort in your time of loss.

God bless you all,
Mark and Kathy Perrella and family
On behalf of
Robert and Gloria Perrella and family
