For me, Uncle John represents the youth I have left behind; the spirit of family and friends; and most of all, obstinate eternal love.



The connectedness and relatedness between Uncle John and myself didn't disappear with distance and time when he was alive nor even now that he has passed on.



I will always hold him close to my heart.



I will always love him.

Dear Mary Palma, Candida and Family,



There are no words that can express the sadness we feel at the loss of your Dad. He was such a very special man. We have many great memories of him as well your Mom, for we cannot think of him without thinking of her. We find comfort in knowing that they are once again together.



May the memories that you have, help to sustain you in the rough days ahead and know that all of you will be in our thoughts and prayers.



Very sincerely,



Chuckie & Annette
