    We are so sorry to hear about the passing of Poppie. He had a very devoted family, who keep him going the past nine years, he is now in heaven with his beloved Connie, and another guardian angel looks over your precious family. Love from the Calabrese's

    Dear Helen and family....So sorry to hear about the death of your father. I have fond memories of the kindness of your mom and dad and the meals your mom would cook for us sometimes between classes and work. I know you have many great memories although we always want to keep our loved ones just a little bit longer. God bless you and your family especially at this time. Naomi

    I'm sorry to hear of Uncle Pete's passing. Though I hadn't seen him in many years, I will always remember him taking me to the trailers across the street. I will also always remember when coming over to visit he would have twisted nails that I would try to take apart. That was over 40 years ago but I will never forget. I hope you all are doing well.
