I remember visiting Auntie & Uncle at their home in Florida and going to Daytona Beach with them and my parents. I remember seeing my dad and uncle standing at the waters edge talking and I thought to myself I will always cherish this moment. In some ways that seems like yesterday. Our family has a lot of wonderful memories like these to look back on, parties at Uncle Charlie and Auntie Aurora's, Auntie Josie and Uncle Salvie's, and our house. I cherish those memories and thank God for them. RIP Uncle Guido Praying for comfort and peace for all of you through this very difficult time. Love, Diane and Joe
