Donna, Alison & Steve: I am sorry to hear of the passing of your Father in Law and Pawpaw. My sympathies to the entire Parrino family as well. I only met Mr Nick once and that was at Alison's graduation party. From reading the entries on this guest book, I can tell he was a very well liked and respected man. May he Rest in Peace.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. We did not know of Mr. Nick's passing till after the services this morning. We will attend a special mass this week for him and your family. Our neighborhood will miss him sitting on the bench feeding the ducks. LSU has another angel in heaven.

I'm not sure where to even begin. Let me start by saying that I am very thankfull for all the great memories you have left us with. I came into the Parrino family at the age of 16 and you guys welcomed me with opened arms. I feel like the luckiest man in the world to have you and Maw Maw as part of my life. You have no need to worry about your girls Haylea, Mackenzie, and Angela cause they are in good hands with me and you watching from above. We are all very saddened by this but we are a very strong family and we will all pull together and surround Maw Maw with all the love and support she needs. You will be forever loved and never forgotten.

Nick I am really going to miss you. It was nice to have a fellow Cheneyville person close by. I'll really miss you at the auction every Tuesday night, and I'll always remember the times you helped me out when one of my items was not getting any bids. Several times I know you got stuck buying one of my items that you didn't really want. I hate to think of walking down the isle at 4:00 mass on Saturdays and not seeing you sitting in the same place. You have enriched my life greatly and I thank you for that. Gordon Hood
