To Connie & Family, I am so sorry to hear about Mr. DiSarro's passing. HIs kindness and warm smile brought so much joy to me when I was growing up. Whenever I walked into your house, he always greeted me with a kiss and a, " hey ya baby" or a "Patti Waddy." Your house always smelled of some fabulous italian cuisine, and he would always invite me to take part in whatever it was that smelled so delicious. I will never forget him. He was more than a neighbor to me, he was my family. I will be praying for you all during this difficult time. I wish you all peace. Love, Patti
