Dear Emily,
I was so sorry to learn of your Dad's passing. He was always so supportive of you (and me) at those so fun soccer games - I remember he always came over to the sidelines after every game with a big smile and a hug for you, always admiring our team, and your spirited play! I wish you peace and love during this difficult time. Michael

To All of Barry's Family,
My husband and I had only known your Dad (Brother) for the last 6 weeks. We had enrolled in his Night Life Golf Course. Needless to say, our memories are very fond and humorous. He was an amazing teacher-- the advice he gave us helped us in our game. For the rest of my life, every time I swing a club, I will hear him say, "Okay, now, keep an athletic stance on the bottom and loosey-goosey on the top!"

Our thoughts are with you at this time.

Dear Julie and Emily,
I am so sorry about the very sudden loss of your Dad. He's was a very good friend and a lot of fun to be around. We knew each other when we were younger, growing up in Newton, but spent more time together when we were in our 20's and 30's. I was married very young and my husband and I had a little girl ,Heather before our other friends had children. Your Dad liked to come over and visit and really enjoyed being a part of our lives.
I can still see him holding the back of Heather's bike and running after her as he taught her to ride a 2-wheeler. He also was a big help one Christmas Eve, assembling a doll carriage.
I know he was thrilled when he had his own little girls to do all those kinds of things for.
I haven't seen any of you since you were little girls, but I remember how much he loved you and how excited he was being your Dad.
I am so sorry you lost him at such a young age and I wish you and your Mom peace and better times ahead.

With Sympathy,
Dona Manfredi
