A week ago today, heaven opened its doors to another angel. Our hearts are heavy with sadness for we have lost a good friend. Warren had a heart of gold and was such wonderful "grandfather/mentor" to our twin boys. Always full of stories; we shared so many good times. You will always be in our hearts. Michael, Denise, Christie, John and Mike Cardello
