I recently had the privilege of becoming part of a wonderful family. A family that has taught me the meaning of tradition and the joy it can bring. I will truly cherish the memories of sharing time around the dinner table during the holidays with Vito. Each time I see a bottle of Carlo Rossi, or a can of poppy cock I know I will smile. I'm so sorry for everyone's loss. It is clear he was a man who touched many peoples lives... including mine. ~Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy. ~Author Unknown~
