I was deeply saddened when I walked into K-Mart this afternoon and learned about the passing of Paul. I cried through the whole store and still have tears as I type this. I had the pleasure of waiting on your family when you dined at Friendly's. I will miss not being able to sneak a banana split into K-Mart for Paul's birthday as I did for so many years and seeing his smiling face while shopping. My deepest sympathies are with you and he will be greatly missed.

DEAR MRS. MONGIOVI-I USED TO WORK AT THE RENTAL OFFICE AT NORTHWAY ELEVEN AND I CAN REMEMBER SPEAKING WITH YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND DIFFERENT TIMES WHEN YOU WOULD STOP IN. I JUST WANTED TO SAY I AM SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. YOUR HUSBAND WAS SUCH A NICE MAN, AND IT WAS ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO SEE HIS SMILING FACE AT KMART.

Dear Clara,

I don't know if you remember Leonard and me and our family, but we lived on Chapel Ave. since l958.

I just want you to know that I extend my deepest sympathy to you and your family. I have walked in your shoes about two years ago when Len left me to go to heaven. It is not an easy road to walk but time and my faith have helped to heal me somewhat. Len will always be in my heart as will Paul be in yours forever.

My love and prayers are for you and your family.

My family and I grew up with Mr. Mongiovi at the "Corner Store", and we are deeply saddened by this news. He was so kind and patient with all of the kids in the neighborhood. I often wondered what happened to Mr. Mongiovi and his family. Please pass my condolences to his family.
