Hello, I am sending my condolences for the passing of Rocco. Somehow, I think our families are related. I am the daughter of Dominic A Miani (his parents were Biagio Miani and Christina Ricci) and Mary Alfino Miani. I heard that when the Ricci/Miani family came to America, several brothers (my uncles)went to Stubenville. My father passed in 2003 and I didn't want to lose family contacts. God bless.

Dear Jerry, Mary Lynn, Nick, and Aunt Chick, Boy am I going to miss Rocco. He was the sweetest man and was hilarious. He always reminded me that he was 3 days older than my father. It's sad that he is gone now and I can't imagine the sorrow you are all going through. I am here in California and so sorry I missed seeing all of you. I am glad that Tommy brought my dad to see you all. You are in my prayers. Love, Linda and Ang
