Dear Maria and Family,
I feel your loss, your deep pain and your sadness. There is so little that anyone can say or do right now to ease your pain and emptiness. When we lose someone as special as Mark was to you we also lose a piece of ourselves. People continue on with their lives when ours comes to a stop. This is one of lifes darkness hours but you need to hold on to Marks memory, to always cherish and hold those memories close in your heart. These memories are yours alone to keep forever. They will grow more precious over time. Take care of those precious boys of yours and always know that Mark is now their guardian angel watching over them.My condolences to you, your boys, Mom and Dad, Sal and the entire Volpe family. May Marks soul rest in peace and may his love always shine down on you and the boys.
You’ll live forever in our hearts, Mez…Our deepest sympathy to the Volpe Family.
