Dear Bob's Family, I'm Aunt Anna (Bob's Father's Sister) and Uncle Johnny's son and I want to express my sincere condolences. That sounds too cold and impersonal and does not express how sad I am at Bob's passing. Bob and I and the whole Flora family were very close my entire life until we all moved out of Jersey City/Emerson Avenue. Bob was always great to me, as was his sister RoseAnne, both were very close with my sister Joan and my Mom and Dad. The notice of his passing was a shock and has struck me hard. I live on Long Island now and due to work and distance and work commitments it is going to be very hard for me to get there on Thursday, and I am very upset about that. Please rest assured if I do not make it he and the whole family are in my prayers. If possible, perhaps someone can email me and let me know what happened. Love, John Patello (referred to in my youth as "Little Johnny")
