Sending my condolences to the Coniglio family and extended friends, family, customers. Believe I met this young man once at the store in which He worked. Very friendly, helpful, cordial. So sorry for this early loss in His life. Handsome young man. A treasure I'm sure. Keep his legacy in your hearts, souls, and minds. None of us are built to live forever....just forever in heaven with Christ for those who believed in heaven as our final destination with Jesus. Jesus takes care of his children with their hearts in mind. No one knows when their last days on earth is to be. Life is a gift that we all must treasure daily. I cry with you, pray for you all now, and consider yourselves hugged. Our faith in Jesus is all that matters from hereon. You raised a fine young man.....remain proud. Love in Christ, Karen McNeely McMinn Carbondale IL
