Carmen Perillo says
I have so many wonderful memories of Fiore, Maria and his family and friends. I wanted to share a memory from my mother who use to say about Fiore. She would say “Carmen I never want to hear a bad word about Fiore.” She was so incredible impressed and touched by the love he had for his mother-in-law. She used to describe how he would treat her like his own mother if not better. Another memory I house deep in my heart was when my dad was in palliative care and Maria and Fiore would arrive like the wind with food and huge container of espresso. Maria would sit there to make sure he ate as Fiore looked on. I still remember Fiore’s voice when he would greet my father with the familiar “pagialone”. Every time my parents would come home from their many visits with Fiore, Maria and their daughters, they would share many stories that would make you laugh and cry. My father and mother would always say that Sandra, Tonia, and Lina were like their granddaughters. I can only imagine their discussions as they are reunited in heaven. One thing I know for sure is that Fiore’s spirit is still on earth taking care and trying to direct his beloved Maria, children, son-in-laws and grandchildren and boyfriends. Rest in peace dear friend you will never be forgotten.

Sandra and family, we are so very sorry for your loss. Your dad was an amazing man. We saw how loved he was by his wife, children, in laws and grandchildren. I know he felt that love. You were all the pride and joy of his life.
Sending you our deepest condolences and keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.
Lots of love to you all.

Lina and Mauro, sending prayers, love and strength during this difficult time of loss to you and your whole family.
Losing your dad is such a difficult thing to process because you are losing a source of strength, stability and consistency in your life. In addition, the loss of a life partner for your mom must have her feeling incredibly vulnerable and heartbroken.
I feel that I somewhat got to know your dad through our conversations of the years. I picture him as a hard working, but fun and loving man. If my assumptions hold true, he’s walking around in heaven right about now making it known that he’s arrived! “Bring on the vino and a game of SCOPA” (or perhaps BRISCOLA). If he does not play, I am sure when he meets my dad he will start!
I want you to know that you are not alone; we are here for you. It is perfectly okay to be NOT OKAY . . . until you are!
I feel confident in saying that I am speaking for more than just myself when I say . . .
“You can lean on us as much as you need. Anytime, day or night . . .to talk, cry, laugh or scream.”
