With my deepest sympathy for your loss.
Words cannot express enough when one losses a loved one.
I am sorry I could not be there in person to express my condolences
I will always have found memories of how Bruno would light up any room he entered
His talent to make you laugh with a smile always on his face
One of the kindest people I will ever know with a heart as big as his personality
Love, Anthony Mategrano
