SAMMARTINO, MARIO

SAMMARTINO,

MARIO

Passed away peacefully, surrounded by his

loving family.

Adored husband of Caterina loving and devoted father to

Sam and Vita, Father-in-law to

Natalie and Ollie,

Proud Grandfather to Kiara, Daniel, Liana, Alanah and Ethan. Cherished by all his brothers and sisters.

With tears we

saw you suffer,

We watched you

fade away,

Our hearts were

slowly breaking,

As you fought so

hard to stay.

You did not want to

leave us,

But you did not go alone.

For part of us went

with you, the day God

called you home.

You are now peacefully sleeping away from all your pain,

But the love and

memories in our hearts

will always remain.

Rest peacefully

A gentle nature,

A heart of gold,

these are the memories

we will hold.

You suffered so long and told so few it doesn't

seem fair what you

went through.

God saw that you

were weary,

He gently closed

your tired eyes,

A tender thought

brings a tear,

A silent wish that

you were here.

You simply lived for

those you loved,

and those you loved

will forever remember.

Life is not measured by

the years you live,

But the love you gave

and the things you did

Nonno, I will look after your beloved vegetable garden every day

after school and carry on the love, passion and dedication you

taught me.

Rest in Peace

Dad / Nonno

Sam , Natalie, Kiara, Liana and Ethan Sammartino

God saw you getting tired

And a cure was not to be

So he put His arms

around you

And whispered

'Come with Me.'

A golden heart

stopped beating,

Hard working hands

at rest,

God broke our hearts

to prove

He only takes the best.

Forever in our hearts

Dad / Nonno

Ollie, Vita, Daniel and Alanah Gerick
