Hey, Todd
You may not even remember me, but I've known you since you were very young. We saw each other at the Castle in 1995. I am saddened to hear of your mom's passing and offer you my condolences. I will never forget Alice, Pepe, or your sister, Kim. Be strong Todd. When things are settled down please drop me a line. Sincerely, Greg Riley

I am deeply sorry for your loss. I have many, many memories of Papa Joe and Alice from The Castle. I spent many years there running security at The Haunted Maze and years hosting Open Mic at Frank's Castle Grill. The Castle had faded away, but our memories will live on, forever ..

To Alice's family, I was truly shocked to learn of Alice's sudden death. I have a friend in the condominiums in Vernon and visit often. Alice and I would chat whenever she was manning the gatehouse. I saw her only last monday with her dog in the booth. She was always so engaging and friendly. I looked forward to seeing her there. Her obituary opened up a whole world about her that I was not aware of. It sounds like she was a highly educated interesting person who lived a full and varied life. I am sorry for your loss and for our loss when a terrific person leaves all of us too soon.

To alll of Alice's family and friends...
Alice truely touched many people's lives, and she will be sorely missed. I cannot express my deep sadness at her passing, but I also know that I have been enriched beyond telling for having known her.
I will always cherish my meories of Alice, as well as my memories of Pepe and Kim. The entire DiFiglia family was such a big part of my life, and I am eternally thankful for that.
Although I cannot get up to New Jersey for the service, I will be there in spirit.

Alice was a dear friend through high school and beyond. Sadly, we lost touch over the years, but she will never be forgotten. I did not find out about her passing until recently. My sincere sympathy to her family. We had a lot of fun together when we were young! I am glad she had so many children and grandchildren!
