Cherish the memories
Deepest condolences Anna and Ernie
From all of us.
Jesalu. I knew the man for 45 years and still called him Mr. Cortiula, while my kids growing up knew him as “Vic”. I don’t think he’d have it any other way. I still have no idea how “Mrs. Cortiula” , to me, , was able to make the most amazing Polenta on a 4 x 8 piece of plywood. I grew up with it tasting like Playdoh. God, they were so nice to me in spite of knowing how I acted.
My wife Maria only met them twice, yet was not surprised at the news. “They had to go together. It was meant like that”. And she’s almost as smart as me.
In my 65 trips around the sun, I’ve learned everything about life I can tell you in three words. It goes on. And it will. It just won’t be as nice without them. Sorry I took so much space.
Dear Anna, Ernie and the family, sorry to hear about your loss. May your parents rest in peace and may you keep their memories alive with you till eternity!
Heartfelt condolences on the loss of your parents. Cherish the memories. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
