To My Dad...
I only wish I had the chance to say goodbye, to let you know how much I loved you.

Dad, I know that you arrived ok in heaven and you are happy there with God above, There are no more tears of sadness, there is just eternal love.

I wont ever forget you just because you are out of sight
I will think of you every morning, noon, and night

I wish I knew all that God has planned,
But I know for sure I just would not understand.
But one thing is for certain, and so very clear,
That you are happy now with Louise, our mother dear.

There are so many rocky roads ahead for me and steep hills to climb.
But I know I can do it "one day at a time"

I know that you will never leave me, you'll always be here, I will hear your loving voice gently in my ear

Dad, the days will pass quickly and the years too,
But when my time is done on earth,
I only hope to see you...

All my love, Angie

Dear Family,

I'm representing your New Jersey Cousins, because I was the only one from Jersey who got to meet Santo. In my 3 short visits to Niles I remember him as a quiet man who loved his family. Please know that your New Jersey family will keep you all in our prayers. God Bless you all.
Love,
Nancy

To My Dear Letizia Family, Joey- Richie- Angie- Carmie & Gerald…
Growing up together on Mango were our roots from childhood, growing old a far raising families and saying goodbye to parents and loved ones our rotten obligation! We however will forever
Know the beauty and love showered from Aunty Lulu and Uncle Sammy! Wow your mom and dad were awesome people which makes their passing so painful, yet I can only say that I believe they are now fully trusting in the promise of eternal life together once again, and boy they made every minute of their time on earth count.
Remembering how they loved teasing me, and I know, I still own that two bits x several hundred for all the great meals they feed me. There cannot be a better gravy recipe than the Letizia secret sauce!
Please accept my heartfelt sympathy as I will be praying for you all and the repose of your dad’s soul!
My fondest love to you all.
