Dear Carole & Janet: I am your Father's cousin, Mark Mostello (one of three of Ralph's sons), who lives in Las Vegas, Nv. I just now learned of his passing in August and of your Mom Tina several weeks earlier. I am so sorry to hear this. Your Dad and I would speak once or twice a year and I was just calling to wish him a belated Merry Christmas only to find his phone disconnected. Although a bit late, you have my sincere condolences for the loss of both your Mom and Dad. They were wonderful people. Your Grandmother, my 'Aunt Mary', was also a wonderful person and, I have missed her the past years. Please take comfort in knowing that there is someone on the other side of the Country who remembers your Mom, Dad, Grandma, and even your Grandpa George. Although I was quite young when he passed, I still remember him smoking his pipe in his chair near the kitchen while my Mom and Dad(Ralph & Viola)visited. We only lived a few blocks away on Broad Terrace in Bloomfield. God Bless and take care. Cousin Mark......
