I write my condolences with a very heavy heart! I have had the privilege to know Mr. Santamaria for close to 40 years of my life. As a young gal growing up, I made friends with the most amazing person, Linda (his daughter) and then her family. Going through some rough times and no where to turn to, however, the Santamaria family took me in and nurtured me. The feeling of a family that cared and gave me what I needed which was unconditional love. Mr. Santamaria treated me as, if I were his own. I will never forget him and and so deeply happy that I had the many years with him. I can only thank my savior, Jesus Christ for leading me to the Santamaria Family! May he rest in peace and his legacy be known of his dedication to his family and friends and also a gentle heart when it came to our furry friends. I will miss you and until we see each other again in Heaven! Love, Deanna
