Dear Dad,

You waited for us to arrive

and say our final goodbyes.

You took my right hand

while taking your final breaths

and looked at me, Maria and Grace,

and gave us a comforting look to say

that everything will be okay,

and not to worry.

I thank you for all the sacrifices

that you made to give us

the best start in life.

You got us through

some hard times that we faced.

You were always strong

and never let anything get you down.

Your positivity and strength

will always be an inspiration to us.

Our memories of you

will be with us forever.

Always in our hearts till eternity.

Love Angelo, Maria and Grace.

Dad,

I'm truly blessed that you are my father.

Until we meet again,

Antonietta (Toni)

Nonno Frank,

They say one man can change the world.

You didn't change the world,

but you changed

Julian and my world for the better.

Thank you for being our Nonno.

Lots of Nadia and Julian,

and your Pro-Nipote André.

Dear Nonno,

Thanks for everything

including watching me grow up

and taking care of me

when I came to see you.

You have taught me how to grow

and become a better person.

Everything you did for me

will never be forgotten.

I will never forget

and I will always love you.

Love from your granddaughter Grace.

To our brother-in-law and uncle, Frank,

Thank you for the beautiful memories

we had together.

You will always be in our hearts.

With love from
