GELSUMINI, Antonio

GELSUMINI. - Antonio. After long illness you passed away on Jan. 9, 2004, aged 71. With tears I watched you fade away, With courage and concern for others, you fought so hard to stay. Your life was full of character and strength, No longer in my life to share, But in my thoughts forever. - Your loving wife Rosina. God looked around His garden and found a special place, He saw your weary face. He put His arms around you and called you home to rest, God's garden must be beautiful because he only takes the best. With all our love always - Your son Graziano, daughter- in-law Anna and grandchildren Luke, Alex and Mia. We knew the time was coming and soon we'd have to part, Your weary days are over and troubled nights have passed. We watched you as you suffered and God knew you'd had enough, He took you gently from us and gave you peace at last. Loving you forever - Your son Greg, daughter-in- law Trisha and grandsons Mathew and Nathan. Papa, No more pain, No more suffering. Tired and ill you made no fuss, You tried so hard to stay with us. God saw your face and He knew, In Heaven there was a place for you. Now you rest Papa because God only takes the best. - Your daughter Dina and son-in-law David. Nonno, you still managed to give me a smile and a whistle, even though you were in so much pain. You called me "your sunshine", but you are my sunshine. Nonno, when I hear that whistle and see that sun I know in my heart that you are watching over me. Love - Your grandson Jaylyn Anthony. You suffered so much but told so few, Youdidn't deserve what we saw you go through. Tired and weary you made no fuss, You tried so hard to stay with us. You fought right up until the end, The way you had to leave us, our hearts will never mend. You're in our hearts, you're in our dreams, We think of you when the sunshine beams. Dad, you hold a loving place in our hearts and home, feel free to visit any time. Thanks for everything you have done for us. - Your loving son David and daughter-in-law Noleen.
