To the entire Burriesci Family,
I have no words to say I can only pray.
May God wrap all of you in his loving arms and hold you up during this time.
Nick loved lake Geneva and that’s how I remember him. Always saying hello to me and taking about our children. We would look at each other and say, I remember being a kid myself and now we are parents, how did that happen? He was young at heart and a Geneva Viking, two of the things I loved about him. In addition, he always wondered why I moved from the City to Geneva. I would say because of the football. May He Rest In Peace. Sincerely, Carla Catino Leone
