Chazz Ragragola ...This is Tony out in Virginia; it’s a Tuesday night, and I just wanted to let you know, tomorrow is a very important day for your Dad, Mom, Devon and Lael. It’s an emotional day for me too; we all loved your Dad/Pasing, and the times we had together. Your Dad was there for us when my Dad’s funeral was also in Mililani, that night after the burial it was party in Puuiki! Your Dad had a lot of qualities that were instilled in his youth, which makes you what you are today. We are a product of our parents, and it’s very true, you see yourself in your children! Your dad also had a a lot of accomplishments, like being married over 60+ years!!! Most of all his love of family and music! Our times in Thermal, BLEED, and your Mom and Dad’s in Manhattan Bch poor dee holeeday!! Who can forget going to Yosemite in dee NoBa? and Mexico doing 105mph!!! How about high school graduation? Aviation, then El Camino!! Of all those events and memories your dad and mom were always there. Death of a loved one makes us pause to reflect on memories and how important that loved one was to us. I feel the loss you feel, now both of my parents are no longer there. I can say there will be brighter days ahead, but for now, tomorrow will bring closure. You will see probably many more relatives you have not seen in a long time. I was on an 8-day tour to Israel, departed Mar 19, returned 28. It was a very magnificent place to see, as if the Bible was read to me everyday. We had an outstanding tour guide, very well read in the Old Testament; she was Jewish, Spanish.I must close for now and look forward to visiting sometime in 2020; I know I am overdue.We love you from this Southeastern part of Virginia! I hope everything goes well tomorrow!Tony
