Pepa i miss you more and more everyday. I wish so bad that i could just talk to you one last time, but i can't. I was looking at some pictures today, and i couldn't help but to cry. I will love you forever and ever. Until we meet again, i will share your stories with all that will hear them. I can't wait to tell you i love you again, but until that time this will have to do. I will love you forever.

We are so sorry to hear about your father Tom. He has been a friend of our family always, all my life, since I was a little girl he would be at our house. All through our adult life too, he will be missed, he was always a very kind man, and heaven is now a better place since they have Tom and my mother. Alphonse and I will miss him deeply.

I can not imagine what you are going through. Your father was like a father to me. He was a wonderful man and he passed his kindness, wisdom, and heart to you three boys. I have pretty much known him my whole life and it breaks my heart knowing I will never see him again or hear his wonderful stories anymore. WE all will have wonderful memories of your father. But, I know today he is in the arms of our Father and he has no more pain or suffering and he's looking down on his boys today smiling with happiness that he fullfilled his life with such loving children and grand-children. My his memory live on in all our hearts forever, and may God give you piece at heart. God Bless you and your families at this sad time.

Iggy, Tommy and Michael,

We know the awful feeling you boys are experiencing..the emptiness you feel when you loose a parent is overwhelming but this is life and we all go on - never quite the same, but you look at your children and know that some day they too will suffer that loss. Remember all the good times and cherish those memories. We were all fortunate to have such a wonderful and caring uncle and we will miss him dearly. Uncle Tom we love you very much and will miss you and your jokes very much. Thanks for saving my life. Anna Marie

Dear Uncle Tommy, Some people come into your life and touch your heart and you are never ever the same. To me, you are that person. I love you and will miss you so very much. I only find comfort in knowing that you are with the people in heaven that love you as much as I do. I will miss our long talks over breakfast. I love you "Dolly". Your Niece, Lisa

Tomy was my cousin and I remember how funny he was as I was growing up. He was older than I, but I remember him and cousin Auggie coming over to our house to see my mom and dad (Aunt Josie and Uncle Gen Romano)and having fun with them both. I wish I had seen him more in my adult life and was able to be a friend of his. You will be missed by all that knew you.

No words can express how sorry I was to hear about my dear friend "Tommy" and your wonderful father, first being so ill and then hearing of his death. It has left a big emptiness in my heart. I just want you to know what a wonderful friend he was to me through many difficult times in my life and of course also through all of the good years. We laughed alot and we cried alot. The only blessing that I can see through all of this is that he is in a better place finally reunited once again with Jo-Jo and the rest of his family, and that he will suffer no longer. My prayers and thought are with all of you. Love Loretta (Abbott, Pozzie) Stellmach
