Non ci sono parole per descrivere il vuoto che rimane nella nostra famiglia. Gianni ci manchi e ci mancherai, pero sappiamo che la tua sofferenza e finita. Sei stato la colla che ha tenuto tutti insieme, la tua quieta presenza, le tue calme parole sono state sempre un grande effetto in tutti noi.
Ti vogliamo bene
Rosaria e il resto della tua famiglia di Waltham
