Dear Josephine, Family and Loved Ones;
It is with deepest sympathy I express my sorrow to you and your family over the death of your husband John.
I can never forget the hospitable feelings shared by our loving families while growing up close to each other in Grandview. I have only warm and caring memories of the many times and places we gathered to enjoy our families with spaghetti, drink wine, sing and dance. I smile with happiness and delight as I reflect on these shared and memorable times.
These memories provide me comfort. As you recall sharing similar memories with John and your family, I pray they comfort you also.
With love and concern to you and your family, Cousin Jim Buzzelli

Jo,
My heart breaks for you and no words can adequately express my concern for your welfare.
John was a truly great guy. The two of you made an amazing pair. Being there for your family is something you and John always made a priority, which is why I take comfort in the knowledge that you are surrounded by your loving children now.
Jo, although John's passing creates a heartache no one can heal, please know that I will always be there for you to help in any way you need.
May you find peace in one of Life's mantras: John may not be with you now, but his love is immortal.
Wishing you inner peace.
Casey
