Hi,Angelo,

I Wish you had someone to talk to that day(Jan 20th). The last message I got from you was at 11:54 a.m. I had already spoke to you earlier. You were gone at 4:00. I never got back to you on the message.I'll never forget that.

I'll Always Love You

God Be With You

Hi Dad,

Well, it's been one month and two days since you went to that better place. This has been very hard on me! I propossed to Echo the day before you went away, she said Yes! I'm sure you already know that. I've been thinking about you everyday. I miss you. I'm sorry there are no trees by your grave. I know how much you like them. I'll see what I can do for you. I'm really confused on what happened to you. Your last words to me were," I love you son, always remember, I love you." That sounded like you were saying your good-byes to me. I thought that, after we got off the phone together! I can still remember your voice. When you speak, your voice sounds like your saying, "Keep working, try harder, do whatever it takes to be the best", as you tell me you love me. You'll always be an inspiration to me. I'm not able to move on yet but I can tell you that my motivational motto is "Never Satisfied". I want to be the best at everything I do. Like you told me, "I can do whatever I want, I'm the best, I'm Sky-High". I also liked when you called me champ. That made me feel good. I'm going to call my kids champs someday. I'll tell them, "Grandpa called me that". Two really hard things to cope with are, that your not going to be at my wedding, and my children won't have that chance to meet you. Life's been really hard and stressful this past month. I have to get back on my feet. I'm really struggling, I'll be back though, don't you worry about that up there. I'll always remember you Dad! Your the Man. I hope you didn't have to go through a lot of pain before you died. I also hope you had a happy life. Sports is like your spirit for me; it gives me mental strength, and those are the things that help me alleviate the pain of your death. I Love You with abundance, always know that. I just don't want to stop talking to you, but this letter has to end Dad, Sorry...I didn't get to say goodbye to you at the hospital so I'm going to say it now.

Good-bye Dad.

I Love You.

Love,Your Son,

Angelo A. Athanas

May God be with You,

May God be with You,

May God be with You,

Kiss...

Dear Angelo,

I miss you everyday, let me start by saying that.. Yet, I know you are still here with all your loved ones, watching over them, concerned for all of us, just as you were in earthly-life. Sometimes Ang and I think we get little signs from you to attest to that, and it has made our grief better to bear. I, too, regret that you weren't able to attend my birthday/engagement party the day before you passed, and I also am saddened at the fact that you will not be here when we welcome our children into the earthly-life, but then again, I know you will be smiling down; and protecting all the little ones that you love. I always thought of you as a mysterious man, yet somehow felt that I truly understood you even without you speaking your innermost mind; maybe that has something to do with how much Ang is like you. I know that you are a very intuitive man, almost to the point of psychic powers. You always seemed to know about things even before they were going to happen, and for that quality, I always trusted you and thought you were a gift to the world. I have many unanswered questions, but I know in time when I go to those "Pearly Gates", you will be there to greet me, and all mysteries will be realized. I love you, and I am thankful that I had the chance to move to Chicago and meet you and spend time with you...I will never regret that or take it for granted...

Love Always,

Your Daughter-In-Law,

Echo Rose
