Donna,Angela,Richie and Debbie,
I am deeply saddened by your loss. Richie was a friend & father to all, i am Nancy Colameta's daughter. Please accept my apologies long distance, i have a loss of words. I remember everyone growing up, you are all younger than i, my sister Carolee would be more in age range.

Not sure if mom can make services at all, she has dialysis thursday 6/14 for 6 hours.
I am also writing for her, devastated as well.

May you find comfort in the fond memories of him and may God give you all the strength to endure this time of sorrow. Remember and rejoice in God's promises in the scriptures to obedient mankind who have fallen asleep in death at Acts 24:15, there will be a resurrection of the righteous and the unrighteous. In addition, very soon pain, sickness, and death will be no more as mentioned in Revelation 21:1-5. My sincere condolences to the Colarusso family.
