Auntie Cindy,

I am so glad we spent that summer day together - me, you, and your father. It was so much fun eating ice cream and going to Revere Beach. We had so many laughs that day. I am happy that I have that special memory of him.

Love,
Marisa

Cindy,

Marisa, Joe and I were very sad to know we will not be sharing any more Christmas Eves with your Dad. Every year he looked so happy to be sharing the night with close family and friends. His greeting always including a "feel good" compliment.

We will miss most of all his remarkable sense of humor. I just loved listening to his commentary on people and life. Fortunately, his personality traits live on in you. You definitely inherited his wit.

I know you have many wonderful pictures and memories or your Dad. I hope those memories will help you through this difficult time.

In sympathy and friendship,
Love,
Angela

I am so sorry to hear of Papa's passing. I will always remember the nice conversations we had and his unbelievable energy and enthusiasm for life. He had no problem keeping up with the young people, and would amaze me every year when he was the last person up on Christmas Eve! I will miss him, and am deeply saddened by his passing.
