<p>July 11 at 6:50pm.. Theresa Cooke-Dragonetti Patty, so sorry for the loss of your brother Vinny. My heart goes out to you and your family, especially your mom. I remember Vinny, from a little boy, having a larger than life personality. Always happy, always smiling, and always doing something like playing sports, singing, dancing, etc....It is always hard to lose someone you love but losing... someone so young leaves us with regret for the time lost and memories which never got made. Thankfully, you remember all the good things about him, the great times and the love that you shared. What can I say except that I share your pain and understand how you feel. Much love always, Theresa</p><p>July 11 at 7:10pm · .Bill Callaghan sorry to hear of your loss.....my prayers are with you</p><p>July 11 at 7:19pm .Patricia Abandolo Giustino Thank you Theresa..
