Dad / Uncle Piole,
There was never a dull moment when you were around, no matter what I did you held me up and kept me going. I am at a loss for words, but all I can say is I love you, I miss you and I know you are in Heaven with Auntie Gloria feeling fine and dancing together once again.
Love you,
V.

Uncle Bobby...how do I begin if I am at a loss for words. I am in disbelief that my invincible uncle is no longer a phone call away. I am heart broken, and I'm going to miss you so much. I love you with all my being. Thank you for years of the wonderful memories of your hard exterior, but mostly for the soft interior love you showed me and my family!

My uncle who I loved so much for so many reasons, missing you!
