Condolences

Irma, Jasper, Stephanie, and Bosco family, I am heartbroken to hear of your family's losses. Gasparo was so sweet to me and always put a big smile on my face. I remember his happiness when we first discovered that we were paesani--a happiness I soon returned as I understood it was the beginning of our friendship. I'll never forget his kinds words that always made me blush. Era un uomo veramente bravissimo e gentile; era un esempio per tutti. He has managed to leave quite an impression on me in the short time that I have known him, so I can't imagine the impression he has left on your family and how difficult this time must be. San Pietro has welcomed another angel who will always remain with us in spirit, reminding us to smile at the little things in life. Please accept my sincerest condolences, and know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. With much love, Francesca Weidner
