Our deepest sympathies to all of the Antonietti family. We were traveling when we heard the news and could not pay our respects in person. It was always a pleasure seeing him now and then in Cal City because of his warm greeting and great smile. He will be fondly missed. May God bless and strengthen you all in your loss.

Anthony, Brittney and family, It is with much sadness that I am sending this on behalf of myself and the nurses here at Community Hospital 6 West. Even though we could never get Andy to use the call light or eat anything from the menu, we shared a lot of nights hearing stories about how much he loved you both and how proud he was as a father and grandfather.With all his challenges he still made us laugh and each admission was more memorable than the last. Wish we could have done more. Please know you are in our hearts, thoughts and prayers. Tammy (Papay) Turean

Brother,
Just want to say thanks again for opening my first saving account, for paying for my first perm even though I straighten it the next day and for buying me my first jewelry box. Thanks for all you did for my kids. Last but not least thanks for the best friend you let me have.
Love and will miss you so much
Janelle
PS Will miss you popping in especially on our holidays!:)

Andy,

You were a good good friend! Us that were around you knew how much you loved to bust our chops, that was to hide your big caring heart, but if we had a problem you were the first one to come help or show concern.
I enjoyed you talking to my sons and showing up to see them wrestle, especially when you were sick! Joshie was very sad to hear that you will no longer be here with us, I will remind him that you will be there in Indy come Feb. thank you for being a good good man to my children and I will miss our ganging up on people, hehehe!! Till I see you again my friend, love you!

With love,

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
