Dear Eileen,
My deepest sympathy to you and your family. We are in Naples now at our condo. I have thought of you many times, thinking that I might run into you on the beach since you had a condo here too. Maybe you don't have it anymore. I would like to see you sometime in Cols. Loved having you come to our house with Dot.
I hope that you are in good health, and that the Dear Lord will be with you during this sad time.

Thinking of you,
Mary Lou

I just wanted to share with you that i feel for you and your family. I've been there and it's not easy saying farewell to a father or grandfather. But it might help to look back and think about all the "good memories" that are left to share and talk about amongst the great Campisi family. Be proud of the name, the history and carry on the tradition as I'm sure Dad will be looking down thinking "celebrate my life and continue to do what's right"
....you're in my prayers.
