My mother, Mary Sarlo, was a patient of Dr. Saletta's for many, many years. I just found out about his passing on Thursday. She suffered a stroke four years ago and we were unable to bring into his office anymore. I was so busy when she passed one week shy of 94, I hadn't had time to contact her other doctors and I was sick with a virus when he passed. You have our deepest sympathies. My mom used to go out to her garden everytime she had an appt. with him and bring him Melrose Park peppers, fresh tomatoes and swisschard. The joy on his face made her feel better instantly. We will all miss him, not just as a doctor, but as a person. He was a special man. You have our sincerest condolences. He will not be forgotton.

Dear Christine.

I rite to you with a very heavy heart. Myself and Doris were very devastated
When we received word of the passing of Anthony. Me and Doris can truly say we were
Blessed to have him as a friend. We at least have great memories of the time we spent
Tougher and the vacations the four of us took tougher.
I am proud to say that Anthony is my friend.

His family should be proud of him and be able to say yes that's my Dad and
The grand kids should be proud to say yes that's my grandpa.

He did so much for people when they needed help and never asked for any thing
In return.
He will truly be missed by all.

Love with all our heart Bart and Doris Runkle.

Dear Christine,

I am sadden to hear about Tony, my heart goes to you please accept our condolences. I was out of town and could not attend wake or funeral but you were in my thoughts and prayers.

Remember Me

To the living, I am gone,
To the sorrowful, I will never return,
To the angry, I was cheated,
But to the happy, I am at peace,
And to the faithful, I have never left.

I cannot speak, but I can listen.
I cannot be seen, but I can be heard.
So as you stand upon a shore gazing at a beautiful sea-
As you look upon a flower and admire its simplicity-
Remember me,
In your heart, Your thoughts, and your memories,
Of the times we loved,
The times we cried,
The times we fought,
The times we laughed.
Remember me, when flowers bloom
Early in the spring
Remember me on sunny days
In the fun that summer brings
Remember me in the fall
As you walk through the leaves of gold
And in the wintertime - remember me
In the stories that are told
But most of all remember
Each day - right from the start
I will be forever near
For I live within your heart

For if you always think of me, I will never have gone.

With our Love (cousin Maryla, Dziopala)
