    My sweet uncle "Scar" now he is in heaven having a good time seeing all of his brothers,sisters,mom, and dad, and best of all seeing God. I have such great memories of him and aunt jelly; I remember, when Jace and I took my parents to visit them, they were fascinated with everything that uncle Scar had to say (of course I was the interpreter) I had the best time translating all of his jokes! Uncle Scar welcomed me into the family with a big hug and his wonderful self. His presence in this world, will be dearly missed; however, his legacy will live on forever. Jace,Anna Christina and I love you. Rest in peace my sweet uncle Scar.

    So very sorry we could not come to the funeral. I have been sick with the 'crud' for about a month - and didn't want to infect others, and am coughing alot. Now that the last of the Cingolani brothers and sisters have gone to heaven, we cousins move yet to the next page in our lives. This page is a huge wake-up call for me in thinking about my own mortality. Who thought we would get this old ? I loved Uncle Scar the best of all of them - he was a 'chumbut' but I loved him so much. Y'all were very lucky to have 2 wonderful parents. Now who's going to tell the 'wedding cake' story ??? Love to all of you and may Uncle Scar rest in peace.

    Losing a loved one is never easy, but rest assured that he is at peace and comfortable now. I am sure when he hit Heaven's Gate that Saint Peter yelled out----"There's a Cingolani in the house!" Our love and prayers are with you at this time.
