Dear Antoinette & family: My deepest sympathy to all of you on the loss of your dear Emil. Bob had told me some years ago that he so admired Emil's desire to learn to speak English immediately after arriving from Italy, so he accompanied Bob to school for some time in order to learn the language. He didn't seem to mind that he was somewhat older than the kids in the class. May he now rest in peace in God's loving arms. Blessings to all, Joan Z.

To the Iorio Family: No matter how long our loved ones are with us, death always brings pain and sorrow. The Bible calls death an enemy that Almighty God will soon eliminate, 1 Corinthians 15:26. Until then, hold onto your precious memories and lean on family and friends for comfort. Also lean on God, for he gives us 'everlasting comfort and good hope' to cope in the days ahead, 2 Thessalonians 2:16, 17 and John 5:21. My deepest sympathy.
