Daddy believe it or not...I miss putting on your socks in the morning and your face when you woke up each morning waiting for me to help u get dressed. You were my life. You were the one I woke up to each morning. I loved you so much and I am so glad that I said that to you everyday. It was such an honor to have you as my Father. You were a fighter and a damn good one. There is such a big void in my life. At least all three of us know that when God took you from us..you had no doubt in your heart that your three children loved you..I thank God that we told you that every day. You were my life and YOU are my Hero. I pray that you are resting peacefully in the arms of Our Lord. You so deserve it. I Love You!

Sandy, Joey, and my dearest friend Loriann,
We are so sadden to hear of the passing of your dad "Midge".
He is no longer in any pain from that terrible disease. I know that this maybe hard for the three of you to hear at this time. But I truely feel he is living it up in heaven. You all are a testimony to the way you three were raised, such a loving close family. Im sure he was very thankful to you three. Never leaving his side, and taking such wonderful care of him especially when he needed you the most. Hay Midge maybe you can look up my Dad now that your are in heaven and you two guys can have another spaghetti eating contest again. Im sure my daddy is going to win. This time don't be mad, you know he could alway out eat you . Peace to you my family friend. You will be missed.
