My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family Artie during this difficult time. You have always been a special friend to me and you have been a special son to your parents. I do not think I have ever witnessed so much caring and love you showed your father during his illness and to strive to make sure he lived every day to the fullest. You are the best.
One of the disadvantages of living so far from home is not being there for your loved ones in a situation like this. You know I would be there if I could. My thoughts are with you. With much love.

Mr Fillastre was a great man. As one of Andre's friends in high school I was blessed with the opportunity to experience his dad's wisdom and humor. Distance and business will keep me from attending and paying respects in person, but you have my condolences and prayers.

It makes me very sad knowing that Artie won't be around to help lighten up the conversation. I will always remember how he was like a big brother to me and my older sister when I was a little girl. Artie's niece
