Thank you for being a wonderful Nonno to my children they loved and adored you as you did towards them. It broke my heart to see you in pain but you never complained, I watched you take your last breath and as sad and devastating it was,it was also a relief to know you are no longer in pain. We promise to look after Mum for you. Until we meet again,goodbye Dad. Love you always, your daughter-in-law Grazia.xxxxxxxxDad, You were a man of integrity and admired by everyone.You are now at peace and God has you in His loving care.We will sadly miss you.Forever in our hearts.Love Joe and Antonette.Nonno,It broke our hearts to lose you, but you never went alone, for a part of us went with you, the day God took you home.
