Dad,
Thank you for accepting me so warmly into your family. I couldn't have asked for a better father and friend. I long to share one more good joke with you and hear your laughter again. I sure do miss you.
I love you, dad.

Dear Aunt Louise and all my Belli cousins,
My thoughts and prayers are with you all! I have so many wonderful memories of Uncle Tony; the many wonderful times we Sadeks had at your home, the weddings, the picnics and holidays together. Uncle Tony's wonderful sense of humor and his enjoyment of life really stand out in my mind. He will be greatly missed, most especially by you, his beloved family, but also by his brothers and sisters and loving nieces and nephews
Much love,
Peggy(Sadek) Romero

Father (Pop) - My heart is broken and my tears continue to flow. The world will never know the "giant" of a man they lost that day. I will always feel your arms around me and long to kiss your cheek again. Fly now to your beloved Son and my Brother, Rick. Mission accomplished.
