      Thank you Steve, Carlin and Matthew. I’m sorry they didn’t mention all the cousins that he is survived by. I know he loved Aunt Rita very much and cared strongly for all his nieces and nephews. Much happiness, health, and love for the new year.

      Thank you everyone else for your kind words and prayers.

    My buddy Silvio will certainly be missed. His compassion and LOVE for God, his Family and his Community will forever be etched and embedded in our hearts and minds.

    He was one of our original members in the Clergy Council 49th Pct and the greatest cheer leader, communicator and supporter of Jacobi Hospital’s “Stand Up to Violence”

    My prayers and condolences go out to Mrs Mazzella and family.

    Scripture teaches us “to be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord”

    Although I did not know Mr. Mazzella personally he was a constant at the 530 evening mass at Saint Claire’s every Saturday! He would always graciously say hello. I offer my prayers and condolences to his family and may they always find peace in their memories! Sincerely Roseann DeLuccia
