Condolences to the Family

February 19, 2020

My deepest sympathy to the whole family. Little Joe as we so lovingly called him was a good man , husband ,dad ,grandpa ,and great -grandpa and as we call her grandma Vita were always welcoming to our family and made us feel apart of theirs of course Familia was most important ,It’s true he was always a snazzy dresser and well groomed . He dressed the old fashioned way , you dress up and with that it commanded respect even if he didn’t mean to .He showed caring and concern for people he cared about ,I feel honored to have known him and he let Sal ,myself and my boys Vince and Daniel be included in his family. I know how hard it is to lose a loved one and my sincerest condolences go out to all. nothing I can say will make you feel better I wish it would .Today is one hard day I will pray God eases your pain ,though this will take time , you knew and loved him for years , you can’t be expected to mourn in just one day ,Realize you must give yourselves as much time as you need to mourn you will go thru phases, hurt, sadness ,anger and they are all natural and expected and then finally acceptance will come .I don’t mean to be preachy I just care and want to speak to you from experience doesn’t help at this moment but later you will hear my words and I hope it helps I hope I didn’t overstep my boundaries’ with advice if I did forgive me it wasn’t mean that way may God be with you all and help heal you ,

sincerely yours Linda Marrone cassellsy@yahoo.com
