Mio caro sposo, sei stato un marito e padre affettuoso. Hai sofferto una lunga malattia specialmente questi ultime due anni. Rimarai sempre nei nostri cuori. Tua amata sposa, Pina To our Dad and Nonno God closed your eyes to ease the pain. We knew this day was coming we just didn’t know when or how. A hard working and humble man who never failed to provide love and protection for our family. Even though you are no longer with us, the legacy you left on this Earth will never be forgotten. Your unwavering support has been like no other, you put us first and never made us feel like second. Thank you for being the supporting backbone to our family when we needed you most. Our promise to you is that we will continue to love, care and work hard for this family. Make yourself a short black, watch the soccer and rest now, your work is done. We are eternally grateful for having had you. Love your son Joe, daughter-in-law Teresa, and grandchildren Josephine, Amelia and Christian. Pop and Nonno, What you suffered you told but few, you never deserved what you went through, you made no fuss but tried so hard. We will always cherish the times we spent together, you had the biggest heart, it was easy to see why everyone loved you. We will never forget those Saturday drives to soccer together. We miss you, love you and remember you every day. Your memories will live in our hearts today, tomorrow and forever. Love your son Bud, daughter-in-law Maria, and grandchildren Frank and Nadia. To our Dad and Nonno We watched you suffer, we heard you sigh. But all we could do, was just stand by. We lived in hope and prayed in vain, For God to make you well again. But He decided we must part. Love your son Domenic and grandchildren Claudia, Francesco and Gabriella. To our dearest Dad and Nonno, The world is a little less bright now that you have taken your smile with you up to heaven. You have taught us so many things in life. Watching you over the last two years was tough, but has given us so much strength and inspiration to draw from. We loved you, cherished you and adored you. You may be gone from this earth, but we know you are now sitting at God’s side, watching over us all and will continue to guide us. You will forever be on our minds and always in our hearts. They say that memories last a life time - but our memories of you will be eternal. Riposa in Pace. Love your daughter Nicolina, son-in-law Domenic, and granddaughters Annamarie and Isabella. Caro Fratello, Con rimpianto e tenerezza ti ricordiamo per sempre e preghiamo per te. Da tuo Fratello Domenico e Cognata Teresa.
