I met Lorenzo at St.Camillius when his mother and my father were patients. His frequent visits brought joy to all of us. Lorenzo leaves many memories to many people of his genuine goodness.

If the acts of this life predict the destiny of the next, then my Uncle Loren has gone straight to heaven. He is with Jesus, without pain, without sorrow. He is serenading Aunti with love songs and dancing with the angels. He now knows what we all will know. "There is more to come"! I love you Uncle. Thank you for always being there for me with your quiet strength, and OV Splits. I will miss you very much. Please give Aunti a kiss for me when you see her. Love, Dulcita
