    To The Family, Please accept my deepest condolence for the loss of your dear love one. I would like to share some words of comfort from God’s word the Bible. John 5:28,29 and Acts 24:15 assures us that those who have fallen asleep in death have the wonderful hope to live again. Also take comfort in Revelation 21:3,4 where at that time SICKNESS,PAIN,DEATH,MOURNING,and OUTCRY will be things of the past, GONE FOREVER. Please take comfort in these encouraging promises.

    Please know that my deepest thoughts are with everyone of you at this time. Sam and Estelle were like family to me I spent so much time over at your house. Sam always treated me like family and I can remember going to Legen City with your family and having so much fun. I will miss him deeply and will always remember him calling me Jewel.

    Please accept my belated condolences. I remember growing with Sams son Angelo my best friend. Sam was like my second Dad as I spent the night at Angelos house countless times and visa versa when we were kids. He was a strong guy worked hard a tough but fare man and he was funny as hell. My Dad and Sam were friends aswell, they were a lot alike. My heart goes out to the Lapadura family and to my old friend Angelo ,miss ya brother and know what your going through my as well has passed. Your Dad was and is deeply loved and missed. Hang in there brother . Hope to see you again someday. I think I owe you a hundred bucks . Steve Woznicki
