Condolence From: Cristalee Figueroa
Condolence: My heart is with the family of Ralph Carella Jr. He will forever be a part of my life in my heart & my memories. I will continue to tell the stories of goofy antics & great company that was Ralph Carella Jr. He was always someone I looked forward to seeing & chatting with in my day. He was the first beautiful person that made my job worth it everyday. In fact, I wouldn't even have my job if it wasn't for him. I remember I once was going through a struggle, trying to look for better employment. After a long time of trial & error. I found myself about to open the front doors at Panera Bread in Boardman when a voice stopped me in my path saying "Hey miss, can you come over here for a minute?". I walked over & he says "are you applying for a job at this Panera ?" I tell him yes I am, how did you know ? He replies "My heart tells me that you are a good worker. Panera is one of my favorite places to be. I want you to be apart of it" as he writes down his name & number for me to use as a reference on my application. When he was finished He shook my hand, smiled & said "Nice to meet you, I'm Ralph Carella, You will be seeing me from now on"..... I will never forget that ! I will always be greatful for meeting Ralph. It's the beautiful hearted people in this world & in our lives that make the struggles in our day worth prevailing. My heart is forever with his family.
-Your Panera girl, Cristalee.
