Dear Michele and Frannie,
On behalf of the Pilkington and Brown family we would like to convey our condolences at the loss of your husband and father Donald. I only just found out this morning from a cousin who still lives on Staten Island. I know my mother would have been deeply saddened at the news. Perhaps she and Donald are in heaven right now making beautiful flowers arrangements for Jesus. Please let Frannie know Lisa and are I (Terri) are thinking of her as we know the pain all too well of losing a most loved parent. God Bless you all,
Terri Brown, Stuart, Cherly, Lisa and Evalise Pilkington

Dear Michele, Michael and Frannie,
I sat today to tell the kids that Donald has passed away. They were all shocked, sitting there with their mouths open. Teary eyed, Brittany started talking about the few times we were all together and how much fun she had with Donald- especially a few years ago when her and Donald hit the same triple at the Meadowlands!! Ashley interrupted Brittany and said, " How about when Donald, Michele and Frannie were searching for our house down the shore and they pulled up and we were all shocked!" All three of them were laughing,& immitating Donald and the whipped cream fight in the ice cream shop after we went to dinner. "How about the time we bumped into them in the IHOP!", Nicole said. He always took the time to fool around with the kids and they truly enjoyed every time they saw him. He will be greatly missed by all, especially my girls.

To the Bruns family,
Words cannot express the sadness that we feel for the loss of Mr. Bruns. He was one of a kind. I will never forget all of the joy that he brought to the families of St. John Villa. I will cherish all the years that I got to work with him at the Mothers Day Plant Sales. No matter how busy he was I never saw him without a smile on his face. I can still hear him saying "Mrs. Mannarino is that coffee ready yet"! Like I said he was one of kind and will truly be missed by all the lives he touched. Mrs. Bruns Frannie and Michael we will keep you in our prayers. Rest in Peace Mr. Bruns we will never forget you.
Love,
Bonnie Mannarino and Family
