Marisa's uncle passed away on Feb. 21st.  I met him a couple of times, but never really knew how important this man was to his community.  He was a firefighter (Capton of Station 15) for 27 years, serving the community and putting himself in danger to help others.  His memorial service was held on Wednesday March 7th and over 700 people attended.  They closed freeways, had helicopters, and much more.  By the sound of it, it was an amazing service for an amazing man.

In hindsight, I wish I could have talked to him more.  I also wish I could have been at the service to show my support for the Tomaselli family.  In any case, I feel honored to be married to a Tomaselli so that I can be apart of this great family. 

I have posted pictures of the memorial service in my photo gallery, please check them out!
