Dear Grandpa,

You know you have always been there for me in the darkest days of my life and I know you will still be there to help me. I know that you knew how much you meant to me as well as how much you meant to the family as a whole. I will always remember all our talks,lectures, and well meaning conversations we had. Many on occassion always just you needing to vent about others and not knowing how to help them. Grandpa, you know that I was always there to listen, whether I wanted to be or not. You taught me more about life and work than any teacher ever could have. It was because of what you said to me that I realized my life as it is today. You have always taught me to help others in need and that is what I will continue to do. I could always count on you, when no one else was there. I will go on in my life without you physically here, but know from up above you will always be by my side in every decision I make in my life. I will love you forever!!!



Your grand-daughter,

Dear Grandpa,



I will miss you. You've taught me and so many others the meaning of hard work. You always took the time to make sure others understood life's realities. You helped me to shape into the person I am today and I thank you for that. May you rest in peace knowing that you did all that you could to help those you cared about and loved. Your work is done. Rest now, Grandpa. Enjoy the time now with Grandma and Sabrina!



Hugs and kisses,

Angel

Dad, I've known you for over 40 years and in all that time you have always been very understanding and generous. You were always strong willed, hard working and loving to your family. You were devoted to your wife and children. You spoke frankly about how you felt, yet gently so as to not purposely upset others. I will miss all the long conversations we used to have at our kitchen table and the laughs that we shared. I'm comforted in the thought that Sabrina has you with her now. Love, Fran
