Lauren… I am so sorry to hear of your Father’s passing, especially knowing how much you will miss his presence, his company and his laughter. You were so fortunate to have had him near, not only as your Father, but also your friend for so many years. My sympathy to you and your family during this time of separation… Edie xox

I was saddened to read the news about Mr. Arias. I always checked in on him and his wife Theresa when they lived on Staten Island. I loved listening to their stories whenever I stopped by their home. My condolences and sympathy to your family and friends.
