Dear Linda, Danny, Kaitlin and all the family. I’m shocked and saddened to hear of the loss of dear Alberto.
What a lovely man, always smiling and joking and inspiring a laugh in the dining room at Sunnybank. I’m sure he will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him. My Mom and I always enjoyed the atmosphere that included Alberto joking and shouting at the girls. May God bless you with many happy memories.
