Daddy - I know that you are happier than you have ever been! You are with Charles and Ramon and all your brothers, sisters, and mom and dad. But, I miss you terribly. Thank you for being so faithful to teach as, as Linda said, not only how to live, but also how to die. I get by each day because I KNOW that I will see you again. I love you so much - your "baby" Alice

Poppa -
We know you now watch over and protect us,
Although we cannot hear your voice or see your smiling face,
We know deep down in our hearts that you have not left us.
Instead everyday you surround us with the singing of the birds,
the rising of the sun and the falling of night.
So many saddened hearts are left behind,
But in our deepest despair our greatest comfort lies knowing
that you are now at peace with the angels and God.
So as times passes our tears will dry,
our hearts will mend
but our love for you will never end nor will you be forgotten.
