Hi Papa,

I miss you and nana so much! Thank you for all the signs you guys leave for me all the time and for helping me when I needed you. It has been 3 years for you and 7 years for nana, it seems like forever since I have seen you. Patrick got a really nice memory tattoo in honor of you and nana, you'd love it, the Italian boot! I'm sure you are busy spending time with baby Lily before she makes her entrance into this world any day now. Don't spoil her too much before she even gets here ;-)I'm so excited to be an aunt! Alyssa and RJ sent you and nana balloons for your birthdays this year again, Alyssa asked if she could come up to heaven to visit you! I told her you always watch her and protect her and she can't visit you because heaven is too far away lol. But I'm very glad she remembers you. She even said she used to sit next to you at dinner and hold your thumb. I tell her all about you and nana <3. They are growing up so fast! I wish you guys could spend if just one day with them. Well, I know you watch over them and all of us. Love you always...Jenny

Hi Papa,

Thank you and Nana for standing by me and helping me through this. The night before I got the good news, Nana was in my dream, once again, another sign to verify she is around and watching and to let me know it was going to be fine. Thanks for the love from Heaven! Love you always....Jenny

Papa,

Have been busy with the kids, have been meaning to get on to tell you and Nana Merry Christmas! I miss you guys so much. The holidays aren't the same without you. It seems like it was just yesterday that I was a little girl looking out your dining room window on Christmas eve checking to see if Santa was in the sky. I have some of the best memories of the holidays with you and Nana. I will forever cherish those,and you will always. always be with me. I hope you got the balloons Alyssa sent you in heaven <3 She wanted to send them to you for your birthday. It was so cute. Love you always....Jenny <3

Hi Papa,

Was just thinking about you and know that you'd be very proud of me for standing up for myself no matter what happens through out this whole thing. You always fought for what was right and that is one of the many things I have learned from you. If you believed in something you never gave up. I know you and nana are watching over me and I know I have your love and support. It has helped me tremendously <3 Love you always.... Jenn <3

Papa,

I wanted to thank you and nana for being there for me the other day when I really needed you. After I got the sign nana left me, I felt so much better knowing you were both going to be with me and everything would be ok. Even though you are not here anymore, I can still feel your love around me. I know you are both watching over me thats for sure. Love you always...Jenny <3

Papa,

Alyssa asked me if she could go to Heaven and visit you, she said she misses you, she remembers you and that makes me so happy. You should hear her now Papa, the things she says....the other morning when she asked me for a drink I said "ok, i will give you your princess cup since your a princess" and she said "no mommy, im not a princess now,but im going to be one when I grow up!" lol, you would have laughed at that one! Can't believe she is almost 4 and RJ is almost 2, time is flying. I miss you and love you Papa, keep watching over us and please help send Patrick and Lauren a baby soon, Alyssa and RJ really want a little cousin and I want to be an Aunt! Love you always...Jenny <3

Papa, I cant believe it has been a year since you left us. I wish you could have been here for RJ's 1st birthday party, he loved the cake, got it all over! I can just see you laughing...Today was a hard day for all of us. We all miss you and nana and with the holidays coming it makes it even harder. But your traditions will be carried on like you would want. I know you and nana will be there in spirit. Love you always...Jenny

Papa,
I miss you so much. The holidays were very hard this year. It was bad enough that we didnt have Nana for the past 4 years, but now we dont have you either. We all love and miss you so much. I wish you could see Alyssa, she talks so much now, you'd be so proud. I show her your picture and she says papa. I will make sure she will always remember you. It breaks my heart you didnt get to meet RJ. I know you are watching down from heaven with nana but it is not the same as having you both here. I wish I could hug you just one more time and tell you how much I love you. Thank you for everything you have done for me. I think about you and nana everyday and always will. Can't wait to see you again. Please watch over us and send us your love. I love you always....Jenny

My first memories of Uncle Joe are before he was married to Aunt Muffy. He would come to the bakery to meet her on Sundays. I was 4 years old at the time and always tagged around Aunt Mufffy. I am sure I was a pain to Uncle Joe, but he was always wonderful to me.
He helped me with a job at the quarry and I would never have completed my education without his help. My heart felt condolences to my cousins for their loss.

Mary and family,
I cannot express how sorry I am to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I pray the Lord will wrap you in his arms and carry you through this difficult time. I am sure you are already there. I didn't know your father/grandfather only through stories shared. He sounded like he was a hard working, stubborn, strong and gentle man who was devoted to his family. He was blessed to have been surrounded by your love. Now, he is with his forever love, where the sky has never been bluer, the sun has never shined brighter and a rose has never been redder.
