Dear Celona Family,
I was thinking of your family a lot in the past few days, as I was doing some painting of doors and woodwork in my house, knowing that your family was the first to live here. I didn’t know at the time that your father had passed. I am so sorry for your loss, knowing it comes so close to the loss of your dear Aunt Nina. They are reunited now in Heaven, along with so many loved ones. More importantly, he is with Our Lord, in reward for a life well lived and a family well raised. He leaves a legacy of live for all of you. I know the coming holidays will be so hard, but know he (and your Mom) are with you in spirit. Michael and I are praying for all of you.

My sincere sympathies to the Celona family on the loss of your Dad. Although it has been many years, decades probably, I have many wonderful memories of both our parents and their friends gathering in your Louisquisset Avenue, especially when the Florida friends were in town! My thoughts and prayers are with you all and may you find peace in the difficult days ahead. Rest in peace Joe
