Non è piu lo stesso senza di te. Tu eri tutto per me. Io mi sentivo contenta quando ti aiutavo, ma l’ultime giorni non ho potuto fare nienti per te e quello è il mio dolore. Addio mio caro. Con tanto amore, Tua cara moglie Sarina. Dad, There are no words that can explain what I am feeling right now. You had the kindest eyes and heart and were always there for me no matter what. I am going to miss you not being here! Love you always, your daughter Nina. Dear Rocco, I will never forget the way you smile, laugh and especially your dance moves. You’ll be missed. Love Derek. To my beloved Dad, It still has not sunk in, you will be missed every day, but your soul remains with me. Your guidance and wisdom, have shaped me into the man I am today. Peppy has promised to look after mum, so do not worry. Love always your son Gaetano. Dearest Rocco, You have always been so loving and kind, because of this you will never leave my heart and mind. Love Lale. Caro Rocco, Te ne sei andato via adesso. Stai con Mamma e Papa che ti volevano tanto bene. Tu mi hai lasciato un vuoto nel cuore che sembra una parte di me è andata via. Eravamo sempre insieme ma tu lo sai come eravamo assieme in vita, saremo anche vicini nella morte. Riposa in Pace. Tuo Fratello Francesco e Cognata Melina. Zio Rocco, It broke our hearts to lose you, but you never went alone. For part of us went with you the day God took you home. We will always miss you Zio.
