You went through so much to stay with us but I’m glad you went quickly and peacefully. I thank God for giving me such a wonderful husband. I’ll miss you every day and will never forget you. Your loving wife Vinny. XXX Pops, You were always there for me, quiet but strong, always making sure I was ok. They say I’m like you and that is the highest compliment I will ever receive. I have so many wonderful memories – watching TV together, your curiosity about so many things, that little sneaky smile when you were teasing, and sticking together when Mum and Pina were driving us nuts. Thank you for being my father. Love Angela XXX Dad (my Poppina), I miss you so much already, it doesn’t seem fair. You did so much for me and for others, you had a heart of gold. I will cherish all the good times we had together, fishing, gardening and being your offsider, I was the son you never had. You mean the world to me and I will never forget you. Your baby girl, Pina. XXX The family sincerely thank Dr James Doherty, Dr John Miller, and all the doctors and nurses at Ashford Hospital for their care and support.
