Dad, I know you wouldn’t want me to be sad and cry but, I can’t help it. You were my rock, my anchor, my daddy!! You are missed dearly. Words can’t express the loss we feel, but knowing you will always be watching over us eases the pain a bit ! I love you. xoxo

My heart is broken…all my life you were always there for me. You were so caring, loving and protective of me growing up, and I loved you for that. I’m so glad we had the close relationship we had and will treasure my memories of you the rest of my life. You were the best brother to me and a wonderful family man. Even though I feel a big piece of me is gone, I find comfort knowing you’re in heaven with Dad, Mom and Dominick. I’ll love you forever…until we meet again,

Uncle Joe, I have to keep convincing myself that this isn’t real, because it is more than I can handle. You have always represented stength for me and I am having a hard time finding any without you. I want so badly to find the words to bring comfort to myself and our family, but I can’t. I just want you to know what a huge influence you have been for me. You showed me what it means to be a real man; the type of man that men aspire to be like. I will cherish my memories and I will continue to work hard, play hard, and love deeply, like you have always done. I love you so much and I miss you terribly.
