I grew up on Dickens St in Warwick next to Connie & Fred in the 1960's & 70's. Connie was always good about giving the Long boys cookies and goodies and Fred always liked showing us his fish aquariums. Connie & Fred were truly good neighbors. I still remember the good times although we lost touch through the years. God Bless the Tessitore family during this difficult time.

A bouquet of beautiful memories, sprayed with a million tears, wishing God could have spared you, if for a few more years. It does not take a special day, for us to think of you, each Mass we hear, each prayer we say, is offered up to you. We can't bring the old days back, when we were all together, our family chain is broken, but memories last forever. love you always Linda and Tony
