Cutchogue-New Suffolk: Outdoor family movie night to be held at library May 27

‘Start by doing what’s necessary; then do what’s possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible.” — St. Francis of Assisi

Two-and-a-half years after he was struck by a speeding car, Deirdre Fedun’s nephew Robert Aliano “miraculously” walked across the stage to receive his diploma at Quinnipiac University’s graduation! His mother, Lori, had been told he would never wake up, but family and friends prayed for his recovery and doctors focused on keeping him alive. After three months in a medically induced coma and two years of intensive therapy, Robert took the biggest step of his life! Congratulations and God bless!

Joan and Tom Sawicki, though disappointed that son Dan will not be coming home from RIT this summer, were happy to hear that he was chosen for a six-month engineering co-op in Rochester. Congratulations!

A family man in the true sense of the word, Ralph Pugliese left his family something priceless. With sons Peter as winemaker and Lawrence as vineyard manager, daughter Domenica Penny in the tasting room, son Ralph Jr. capturing the vineyard’s beauty with his photography and eight grandchildren, Pugliese Vineyards will be a legacy for generations to come! As Ralph’s neighbor, I can attest to his bringing the words “Love thy neighbor” to life. Our heart goes out to Pat and the Pugliese family. May the love of those around you help you through the days ahead.

Words seem inadequate to express the sadness one feels at the loss of someone young in years. What’s even more incomprehensible is what goes through the heart of a mother and wife experiencing such a loss. Heartfelt condolences to the families and friends of Charlie Cartselos and Kevin Stakey.

Happy birthday wishes to Karen Lepre, who turned 35 last week.

An outdoor family movie, “The Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader” will be shown Friday, May 27, at 8 p.m. at Cutchogue New Suffolk Library. There will be refreshments. Bring blankets or sleeping bags. Children 8 and under must be accompanied by an adult. Rain cancels the showing.
