I have known Godfrey for almost as long as I know my husband as he and Carmela were one of the first cousins I had met. And that's almost 40 years ago! I've considered him family from then on. As families, his children and two of mine, who are the same ages, have gone to school together making our family ties stronger. We celebrated many Christmas Eve's together with our families at my house. We have made considerable memories. He was such a kind and patient man. Always on stand by with an amusing tale or joke to tell. I will always remember and miss his opening hello when he called our house...Hi G, this is Godfrey...only the name that my family or closest friends call me. I am so grateful to have know this warm and loving human being and proud to have called him "my" cousin. You will be forever in my heart and missed dearly.
Carmela, David and Corinne, I can't imagine what you must be feeling. I'm so terribly sorry for your loss. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Gina Mallia
