Dear Angelo Trivelli Family

Our deepest sympathy to your family. We were out of town for the holidays and learned of your loss when we returned. My wife and I always enjoyed talking with your father at the baptisms, birthdays, of both Paul and Joseph, etc. His interesting stories were inspiring to us. He was very proud of his Italian heritage. His strong work ethic and the support of his faithful family made him sucessful. We learned much from him. Just two months ago, it was an honor to have him at our house for dinner with Lucy and Frank. What a true blessing that was. A memory that will be everlasting in our house. Angelo, most importantly, missed his dear wife and always wanted to go home. Now, he is truly there. May his Memory be Eternal. Manny and Despina Karos and family.

Dear Trivelli Family: I only recently heard about the passing of your parents.My Father,Joseph and Mother,Letizia had a store on 12th&H St,NE. Am not sure but I think my Father and your Dad were related (my Father was born in Larino,Campobasso, Italy). I remember your parents w/such fondness. Your Father danced w/me at my 1957 wedding until I got tired! He and your Mother were special people from a very special time in my life. You must know that so many people loved them. I know you will have so many sweet memories to hold in your hearts about your wonderful parents. Love,

How do you say goodbye to someone who you thought would always be there. I always knew how much I was loved and that to me is the most important part, and the part that makes me happy even though I feel an sadness and emptiness. We will all miss him but each of us, with our own unique memories of him, will always be with us.

Dear Lucy and Family,

I was sorry to read of Mr. Trivelli's passing. Although I only met your father a few times when you and I were at Holy Names, I remember the beautiful work he did at the school and the convent. Moreover, I remember what a good father he was to his children. How fortunate you all were to have shared a life.

Again in death I learn more about someone than when they were alive. Angelo was a man of few words. I am learning now from his family that he had a very interesting life, one that must be remembered to his children and grandchildren. When I first became a member of the Trivelli family, Angelo was still a healthy,vibrant man who enjoyed when we would visit (why didn't we visit more often?). He face would light up when we would arrive. I did learn that he loved a party or social gathering. Ever charming! I remember him dancing with me at the wedding of Mike and Maria Calandra. He had a huge smile on his face. He was really enjoying himself. We must keep that joyeaux de vie alive in his children and grandchildren. We also must never forget the contribution he made for all of us for his service in WWII. If nothing else I have learned to value each moment of life and take nothing for granted. I have now lost two people who were people I wish I had gotten to know much better. Love your children, your parents, your grandparents. Talk to them, get to know them, let them get to know you. God Bless!

Carmela and family - I was so sorry to read (late) about your father's death. I really liked both your parents and will pray for them, and you. I also did not know until I read the paper obit that your Dad worked in my agency; I have notified GSA's Public Buildings Service Commissioner, Tony Costa, about Mr Trivelli's death. Again, my condolences.

Dear Mary and family, I was so very saddened to hear that your father died. He was a loving husband to your mother and a wonderful father to all of you and I know you will miss him greatly. There is so little one can say in a time like this to relieve your grief -- only that he is with Our Lord and he is no longer suffering. May God grant that all of you bear up in this very difficult period and hold onto each other for support and love. Please know that you are in my prayers. God Bless you. Love, Linda
