NO LUTTO

Caro Ilario,

Abbiamo trascorso quasi 60 anni insieme

e ora sono rimasta sola.

Sei nel mio cuore e ti amo ancora.

Per ogni pensiero c'è una lacrima.

Per un marito perso ed amato così intensamente rimane un vuoto che nessuno potrà colmare.

Ora riposerai in pace dopo una lunga vita

interamente dedicata alla tua famiglia.

Da tua cara moglie Maria.

Dad, the beautiful sparkle in your eyes

will stay in our hearts forever.

Your heart is at peace.

We didn't get to say goodbye,

because we never will.

From your son Giuseppe and

daughter-in-law Kim.

Dad, you gave so much, and asked so little.

You were a man with a heart of gold,

We will treasure and hold

the special memories we made.

You left us in your home,

peacefully and without any fuss,

just the way you wanted.

Your suffering is over and now

you can rest in the peace

you so dearly deserve.

We love and miss you.

From your son Rocco

and daughter-in-law Rosa.

Dad, you never failed to do your best,

Your heart was true and tender.

You simply lived for those you loved,

And those you loved remember.

We are all proud to say

“Thank you”

for being our Dad.

From your son Mario and

daughter-in-law Rosanna.

Nonno, a limb has fallen from the our family tree.

But we keep hearing your voice say,

“No cry for me”

We remember the best times,

your laughter and songs,

the good times we had with you

when you were strong.

Our memories together will never grow old,

They are locked in our hearts in letters of gold.

You left a huge void that no-one can fill,

We love you Nonno Ilario and we always will.

Blowing kisses to you in heaven now and always.

From your 11 loving Grandchildren

and 4 Great-Grandchildren.
